The Truth about 2022 & 2023 Coyote V8 Part 2 Important updated Info

Warning this video is what I did to prove where the horsepower was lost. I am not telling you to do likewise. This video is focused on an emissions control device so only proceed IF you understand any potential legal consequences.
The MAF calculates air flow based on the diameter of the tube being a fixed size. IF you change the diameter of the tube the calculation is wrong. By removing the insert you’ve increased the diameter of the tube without telling the ECU. This could lead to more airflow than the ECU can adjust for and you end up running a bit lean.
Reinserting the tube corrects this and returns the total fuel trim to be less than that 10%

Thanks for the update. It would be good to know if anyone gets a warning light with the filter removed?

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

I only heard of one person with a GT getting check engine light. I think the tube size being correct in the ECU should square that away.

[@gregorykalla2565]

Removed, drove it all day, no issues, the increase is a bit more frantic acceleration in the mid to top, still very well mannered putting around town…No check engine lights. Thank you Tony!!!!

Thanks for posting. I removed mine completely - also did an x pipe...got CEL today - everything running fine but my code reader is out of pocket at the moment. Going to re-insert the sleeve without the filter and see if that does the trick.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thanks for watching. I did some data logging and everything looks as it should. I'm at 1% percent fuel trim long & short with the tube back in. Even with the tube out I was only at 8%. Maybe something happened with an O2 sensor harness during the Xpipe install?

well you have such great content and information I really appreciate it I have a 22 Mach 1 same color I believe but I would love to see a video on how to actually remove the inside tube out of the intake I know you said you put screwdrivers in it was that from the rear and you sleep three long screwdrivers in there and then pull it out or how exactly it comes out thank you I'm a little Leary with fooling with my brand new expensive car but I really want to do this and I live in Florida so it's legal

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

3 screwdrivers go in the tabs in the front, towards the filter you pry those up a bit and you push from the back on the trap itself to remove the tube. HC trap comes off tube snaps back in job done

[@michaelmahoney1829]

can you show more detail on the removal of the trap ? I can not get the tube out of the intake

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Did you remove entire air intake? If yes all 3 tabs need to be up at the same time, then you push on the trap from the throttle body side. I can't really be more descriptive than that.

[@jcpindeepcreeklake8478]

Hey Tony, I have a 2020 Bullitt is this the same restrictor? Thanx,Jeff

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Jeff, Thanks for watching and I would say no your car doesn't have a HC Trap. I didn't have it in my 2021and the horsepower figures for your car mirrored that car.

[@wesd2845]

Another great video Tony! I'm going to do what you did in this video while I'm waiting for my tuner. Quick question, is it possible to remove that hydrocarbon trap from the inner tube by just taking the top lid off the air filter and sliding it out without removing the entire cold air intake?

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thanks you and no sir it isn't possible. The HC Trap is attached to the tube. So the tube needs pulled and trap can come off and the tube reinserted.

[@wesd2845]

@@TonysFordsandMustangs thanks for the reply, what I meant was the outer tube does not need to be pulled and detached from the throttle body correct? Just the inner tube needs to come out correct?

[@claywhicker8549]

@@wesd2845 I will be doing mine today or tomorrow, did you have to remove the unit from the throttle body to pull the tube out?

[@wesd2845]

@@claywhicker8549 Yes you have to completely remove it. All the tools you need is a torx bit to remove the MAF sensor and it's either a 12 or 13 mil deep socket to remove the top part of the air filter. The most challenging part was removing the inner tube. I had to take three table knives and put them under each tab simultaneously and then push it from the back. Tony uses a screwdrivers but I found the table knives were more flexible and easier to use. Make sure you put the inner tube back in without the filter because if you don't put the inner tube back in it'll throw off your fuel trims.

Any idea if the 2024 cars have this carbon trap? I noticed they rated them at 480 horse but the toque peak is still down compared to what the 2021 5.0 was rated at.

No idea until I see one.

[@silver_bullet92]

I'm only asking because I have seen this question specifically answered yet. I also made it through only half of the comments before creating this one, so sorry if I missed it. Did this require a tune or ECU calibration in addition to removing the filter?

Interesting…way to choke off an engine for no real measurable difference. I paid (as we all did) a gas guzzler penalty for my 2021 6 speed car that is consistently getting me 17-18 mpg in the city. At least it looks like the engineers were thinking thru this carbon trap and tube.

[@cameronsund5477]

The gas guzzler comes from the transmission being a tremec. Only one overdrive of 6th vs the MT82 having both 5th and 6th as overdrive.

[@diogenespaula2848]

I wonder if someone will take that tube out and compensate on the tune with the stock air box That would be interesting because some intakes run a wider tube for more airflow

[@2blackbikes]

Guess I better put the tube back in - 🙄

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

If the car is acting a little off that would be why.

[@zoe..d]

Pulling the insert out of the tube between filter and the throttle body doesnt change the diameter. What changes is the velocity and volume of air that moves through the tube. Thats what your MAF sensor is detecting. Its why steeda had such a long R&D process with early cold air intakes for gen 3 coyotes. You took the pipe out and put the same one back in. It didnt get any fatter or skinnier. Same inner and outer diameter. Just volume and flow changes is all....

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Originally I did not put the inner sleeve that holds the HC Trap back in and my fuel trims were off (Video One). Minus the inner sleeve the diameter of the intake tube is quite a bit larger at the mass air flow sensor and the car would occasionally bog on acceleration. Once I reinstalled the insert minus the trap everything went back to normal. Steeda has a lot more resources and knowledge than I do but I can tell you that if you don't reinstall the sleeve your fuel trims will be off by 10% or more.
