Popular UPR Catch Cans

UPR Catch Cans - First in Fitment, Quality and Designed Specifically for Your Vehicle

If you're not sure which UPR catch can is right for your build, this is the place to start. These are the kits our customers buy most because they're the ones that fit correctly, install without headaches, and get the job done. A universal catch can fastened to a bracket with zip ties and silicone hose adapters isn't a system; it's a workaround. We engineer our UPR catch can kits for specifi c engines and model years, with OEM-style connectors, Continental braided hose, and billet hose ends matched to your factory PCV ports from the start.

Fitment covers numerous popular platforms. Mustang owners have a wide selection: from Fox Body to the current S650, covering the 5.0 Coyote, 2.3 EcoBoost, and supercharged applications. F-150 and Ford truck owners running the 3.5 EcoBoost or 5.0 will find vehicle-specific kits that route cleanly in the factory engine bay. On the Dodge side, Hellcat and Hemi owners have dedicated kits for the 6.2 supercharged and 5.7/6.4 naturally aspirated applications. Camaro SS and Corvette LS/LT builds are covered, too. If you want to browse everything we make in one place, the full oil catch can collection has it all organized by vehicle.

Understanding the Different Catch Can Configurations

Not every engine needs the same setup, and picking the right configuration up front saves you from buying twice. Here's a breakdown of how our most popular UPR oil catch can options differ and what each one is built to handle.

Single Valve Catch Cans:

Single valve catch cans intercept oil vapor on the dirty side of the PCV system, the line that runs from the valve cover to the intake manifold. This is where the majority of oil contamination enters the intake tract under normal operating conditions, and a single valve kit handles it on most naturally aspirated daily drivers.

Dual Valve Catch Cans:

Dual valve catch cans add coverage at the wide-open throttle port in addition to the PCV side. On supercharged or high-output naturally aspirated engines, crankcase pressure spikes under boost and hard acceleration can overwhelm a single-valve setup. The dual valve design keeps the system flowing correctly across the entire RPM range, from idle vacuum to full boost.

Clean Side Separators:

Clean side separators address the fresh-air inlet side of the PCV circuit, the crankcase vent that pulls makeup air into the engine. On boosted applications like the EcoBoost or a supercharged Coyote, elevated crankcase pressure can force oil vapor back out through that clean-side port and directly into the intake or air box. A clean side separator traps that contamination before it reaches the throttle body. It's the most complete protection available and the top choice for any forced induction build.

The Right Catch Can for Your Engine Is Here

UPR oil catch can kits are built for your specific engine, not adapted from a universal kit with a pile of extra fittings. Every kit ships with billet aluminum construction, Plug N Play™ fittings, and OEM-style connectors matched to your vehicle's factory PCV ports. Pick your platform, and we'll take it from there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are UPR catch cans good?

Yes, and there's a measurable reason why. UPR's catch cans use a 4-stage diffuser design with custom-formed stainless steel coalescing media, which physically separates oil droplets from blow-by gases before they can re-enter the intake. Most competing products use basic baffles or mesh inserts that slow the airflow slightly but don't efficiently coalesce and trap the oil. UPR also uses billet aluminum construction, OE-quality connectors, and oil-resistant hose throughout.

What is the best catch can?

The best catch can is a vehicle-specific kit with a multi-stage internal separator, quality coalescing media, and fittings that connect directly to your factory PCV ports without modification. A universal can might check the box visually, but without proper fitment, the hose routing is compromised, and the fittings are an afterthought. UPR's Plug N Play™ system uses push-button quick-release fittings that snap onto your existing PCV connections, with no cutting, drilling or adapters, so the system functions the way it was designed to from the first drive.

Are catch cans worth the money?

For direct-injection engines, yes, unambiguously. The 5.0 Coyote, 3.5 EcoBoost, GM's 5.3 and 6.2 LT V8s, and the Dodge Hellcat 6.2 all spray fuel directly into the cylinder rather than through the intake port. That means there's no fuel wash to keep the intake valves clean, and oil vapor from the PCV system deposits carbon directly onto the valve faces over time. Catching that vapor before it enters the intake is the only way to stop the buildup at the source. For port-injected engines, the benefits remain real: cleaner combustion, longer spark plug life, and less intake tract sludge, though the urgency is lower.

Is a vented catch can better?

It depends on the application. A vented catch can, one that releases crankcase pressure to the atmosphere rather than recirculating it into the intake, can be effective on dedicated race cars where emissions compliance isn't a factor. For street-driven vehicles, a closed-loop recirculating system is the correct choice. It captures the oil vapor, deposits it in the reservoir for periodic draining, and maintains proper crankcase ventilation without venting hydrocarbons to the atmosphere. UPR's kits are closed-loop by design and built to keep your engine running correctly on the street and at the track.
