Catch can or cans?

[Frank D Harders]

Best catch cans on the market?? First upgrade are they needed ??

Yes they are worth it. I have the BMS maintenance free one and it is great.

yes they are absolutely needed. You'll be shocked at how much oil accumulates in them. I have one from amazon that is an exact copy of the mishimoto. it was $25. Does a great job.

Brand and same install. Somewhat mechanical but will need directions.

Looking to do intake next. Any suggestions

I have the BMS intakes. Easy to install and less hardwares/hoses.

I’m using this one:

you’ll have to rig up a mount. I used a 3” L bracket from the Home Depot and bolted it down to one of the exposed holes and bolts from where the stock air box mounted.

I have AEM intakes and I like them a lot. Good price, look pretty good and sounds great. BMS is good. Injen look amazing. They’re all pretty good.

i splurged on the dual sixth element one. it looks great and the second one does actually catch stuff too.

It is highly recommended that you install one especially if you plan to do any modding in the future.

I would suggest checking out the Add W1 Twin Can Kit. It has a Stinger specific brack, is well built, and offered in a variety of cool color options

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about it or any other item that we carry. ​

PSA: the answer to the "needed" part of this question depends entirely on how you drive the car. Blow-by (the fluid being captured in a catch can) occurs more often at open throttle/high rpm/high pressure situations, and later in the car's life as the piston rings and cylinder walls wear. Driven casually a car produces very little blow-by [note: most DI engines produce some, even if it's a tiny bit this will add up over time]. Occasional heavy acceleration also might not be enough reason to install catch cans. On a long enough timeline all DI engines will need, at the very least, the backs of the valves cleaned or walnut blasted.

That said - you can't do any harm installing them, as long as you're willing to maintain them and potentially argue with the dealership should the part ever come up in a warranty coverage discussion.

Being that you also want to know about CAIs, I'm thinking catch cans would be a good idea for your likely driving style/intent. I'm sure this applies to a lot of (most?) Stinger owners. But you can also just have the valves cleaned every 40 or 50,000 miles, which is going to be my strategy, and avoid ever drawing attention to mods directly connected to the engine.

Thanks. Currently 2020 GT AWD white ext red int. Love it already 20k. Daily mostly. Made my commute fun again. Yet to do anything to crazy speed/ drag. Waiting until BOv exhaust and jb4. Budget is low so it is sloe going. But learning the current limits as i go. Then suspension/ handling. Almost anyone can drive straight i likr corners

Daily driving mine since new with about 3500 miles, I've only recently been poking at its limits. Can definitely handle well, with some backend kick if you push it too far or there's road imperfections (which I also recall reading in some of the car blogger reviews). In the handling department falls somewhere between a Buick and a Ferrari, depending on road surface, temps, tires, etc. Probably leans a bit more towards a Buick, hence the GT classification.
