Has there been any info on why Ford would put a carbon trap on the intake? Is it to catch evaporative emissions from fuel left in a cylinder/intake manifold post shutoff? That's about all I can think of. And if that's where they're at now chasing emissions, they're tilting at windmills. It just doesn't matter. You'd create more emissions by spilling a few drops of fuel at the pump than you would ever catch with this abomination on the intake. Oh and props Tony on showing consideration for the dyno shop in your testing process.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I know the CARB emissions become more restrictive each and every year so maybe this was all Ford could come with to meet the requirement?

All of Ford's technical specs for 2022 (one of which I linked in the video description) and well as the the 2022 owner's manual list the correct compression. Additionally IF the 2022's were down on compression the horsepower drop would have been much more than 10 HP. I pulled the HC trap and my horse power is identical to a 2021. End of story.

Yet we all know the Bullitt has the Gt350 induction tube/intake manifold. Did these cars w/the new carbon trap chg on MPG at all? Cuz that extra loss of 1 Mpg caused the gas guzzler tax to up a Lil if I recall correctly on the '20 Bullitt as well. I had to pay $2600 gas guzzler on our '22 GT500 purchase. My Bullitt was $12/or $1300. I'd hav to chk sticker to be correct. So I've spent nearly $4k in these ridiculous taxes between 2 cars.

I do not have to go through emissions testing where I live so I can't say but from what I understand the device is there to capture any gases that may escape through the intake after you shut the car down.

Since this process was cut from the video, I am curious as to what you used as well as if you have to pry at all three sides at the same time or if there is enough play to do one at a time.

The tabs need to pop up slightly. You can use anything that you can wedge under them. I have had people tell me they used paint sticks, chisels, and butter knives. Then you need to push from the other side through the tube. It helps if you get a helper to hold those wedges in place as you push from the other side. I assure you it pop out.

Tony, awesome video. Just curious you said it’s actually 18hp at the end. Did I miss something. I thought it was 10hp?

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

It was said by Ford that the 22 Mustang both Mach 1 & GT lost 10 crank HP. My results netted 18 at the wheel. You can be the judge. Same car, same day, same dyno.

Once you have something lodged in those 3 tabs to push them up (Allen wrench's work well) you push the insert out from throttle body side. Remove the trap and reinsert the tube style insert till it clicks into place, done. Put it all back together.

[@joegboss]

Tony are you putting a shifter in this car ? Or not worth the money and effort?

I’m a rebel in this regard. Legal is what I choose it is 😂. Choose wisely. I’d chuck that thing on a shelf until you have to do emission tests or something.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Actual it's not part of any emissions test and it is sitting on a shelf. It collects the Hydrocarbons emitted through the throttle body after you shut your car down. If you have a Mach 1 and are thinking of doing this watch the second episode as I was learning as I went along.

[@johnalcala]

I've heard that there's a second air filter in the stock 2022 air box that needs to be removed to get your 10 HP back

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thanks for watching & It's not really an air filter. There are two different Hydro Carbon traps. One in the open airbox cars (Mach 1) and one in the closed airbox GT's. I do have video on both. You can find them on my channel.

[@davea4037]

Thanks for the video. What month/year was that mustang built? I only ask because my 22 gt was built october 22; i looked for and didnt find that part in the intake. I did find an additional carbon filter mounted in the engine air filter box above the filter, meaning that air passes through the main engine air filter then through this smaller carbon filter. Its mounted in a way so that you wouldnt see it if your were just replacing the main air filter. I took it out but left the empty plastic bracket. Looks like a smaller version of an in cabin filter, but i dont want it.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Your GT has the closed box setup and I did make a video about those cars after I was able to see one in person. That grid can be removed relatively easily as well. It took me a while to figure this out and I think I was the first person to get it on KZbin. Now every other person with a channel has made a video about it. :) Thanks for watching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJSne4qumNGGr9E

[@tmaccallum]

What do you think about removing the circular plates in the grill and cutting a hole in the hood insulation above the CAI to let in more cool air? I thought the hood scoops were functional but there is no hole in the insulation above the air filter?

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Ford has a duct that runs just behind the grill plate directly to the airbox. You will find it when you look. I thought about removing that plate but it's there to keep large objects such as leaves, big bugs etc. from clogging up the filter. I pull and blow out the filter every 1000 miles or so. They collect a lot of junk. The vents in the hood are heat extractors and they are functional. They pull the hot air out of the engine compartment instead of ducting cold air in. I don't think you will see much of a gain if any by pulling the drivers side plate and I wouldn't cut your insulation as you will ruin the seal to the hood and pull hot air from the engine in which would lower HP.

[@jimlafreeda43]

If you drove under 5000 miles aren't Pennsylvania cars emissions exempt so would anyone know? Also would the computer get thrown off? Just curious

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

In PA emissions are determined by the county you live in and I am ok in my county. The shop I went to is located in Maryland and they won't touch anything emission related so I had to do the actual removal and not discuss it with them. I did a follow up on this video and if you are thinking about doing this please check that out prior to moving forward. Thanks for watching!

[@SkYLiNe00X]

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. It is excellent news for the 2022 MACH 1 owner. Now we can restore the lost HP quickly. Do you need to uninstall the intake system, including the (Tube) behind the air filter? I thought the hydrocarbon trap was sitting behind the air filter and inside the intake air tube. Then, it slid out by pushing three tabs. Am I wrong? I look forward to seeing more videos from your MACH 1.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thank you for watching. I would suggest you watch the other videos in the series as I was learning as I went along and picked up helpful info along the way. You need to remove the tube from the throttle body to the air cleaner lid. I used 3 screwdrivers placed under the tabs at the front of the tube and pushed the insert out. Removed the trap.

you don't have to pull your airbox out of a 2017. You don't have an HC trap in your car.

Hey Tony is there a separate part of the intake with a waffle-shaped piece in the tubing? My 2022 GT (non Mach 1) has a different style carbon trap than yours, the GTs are on the top portion of the intake box (we don’t have a open filter like Mach 1). Closer to the MAF area in the tube there’s a waffle shaped insert that’s molded in the tube and tuners say to keep it because it acts as a air straightener for the MAF to get a more accurate reading. Not sure if the Mach 1 features that as well.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

No sir the open air is a striaght shit to the throttle body. There is a duct section to help airflow but if you have a 2022 you have HC trap inline normally after the MAF sensor. I will dig into it a bit more in the coming weeks.
