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? I understand a tune has to be careful with the EPA watching everything they do. I didn't want to ask them to touch anything and we scheduled my pulls over their lunch hour so it worked out well.

[@Andy21996]

Hey Tony, thanks for the video, very informative. Just wondering if removing this affect smog? I know it won’t be until 8 more years but I would like to throw the trap in the trash if it doesn’t affect smog. Thank you in advance

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

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. That said it's best not to toss any OEM car part. Original emission equipment for a 1970 Boss 302 brings big money. Also government regulations change all the time so you maybe required to have it in at some point in the future.

I did Dash cam install video on the Spider and it's easier on the Mach. You need constant power and a ground. Both can be found in the passenger side footwell fuse panel. Run the wire behind the kick panel, up the A pillar which I didn't remove just feed the wire though and across the headliner to the cam. You need not remove the headliner either. I used a couple pieces of two way tape to secure the wire from falling out up there. Best of luck.

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.

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.

Sometimes is not only for emission’s, the manufacturer like to keep HP upgrades for the newest model’s, I know this engine on the MACH 1 can go to 537HP, by simple mapping it, without taking out this, and if you take it out ,put another 20 HP, than we talk about of a natural aspirated engine with 557 HP, another great addition to install is a air intake with a bigger diameter to keep the engine natural aspirated, with this another 10 HP = 567 HP !

On Alex's video he goes straight to the ford website and the specs show lower compression and smaller piston size.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Conner, Ford's retail website has an error. This isn't the first time nor will it be the last time that has happened. 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. That's the hardware change for 2022 is the HC trap not compression.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

Thanks for watching. Unless you picked up an U.S. export car you most likely do not have and HC Trap on your vehicle. Euro spec cars have a different set up. You can learn more about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKHSdoWGbt-Wq5I The Airaid filter would be a nice and easy add to your car that would bump HP slightly. It would be safe as it's the same filter that Ford Motor Sports sells.

[@TonysFordsandMustangs]

@@franmolina8257 I went with the Airaid because it's a dry filter. K&N's are an oil bath (style filter) They require service that includes a cleaning and prep kit. That is additional cost and time that isn't required for the Airaid. I also think the Airaid is a better filter in terms of filtering than a K&N as it's a bit more restrictive.

[@detroitcarnut]

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.

[@derrickpatterson8247]

I have a 22 GT as well. The waffle piece was just pressed in there and you should be able to pull it out. There were no clips holding it in but it still took me a few minutes. I also removed the secondary filter in the lid just to see what will happen.

[@Mountain_Valley_Sky]

Yeah, even the '19 Bullitt was around 430hp @whl. I think Ford underrated them. I noticed that between the '19 & '20 mdl yr Bullitt. The GOV made Ford knock off 1 Mpg on both city & Highway. & those 2 cars are virtually identical. The '19 used the same published #'s as the '19 GT manual did. 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. Where does this money actually funnel to? 🤔 scam as far as I'm concerned. Between sales taxs, insurance, & gas guzzler fees, my 1st new Ford Truck cost less than this NO VALUE Added garbage. I'm burned out on paying sales tax over & over on these used cars after everyone else paid it, in veh markets. As I rarely buy new anymore, except these FoMoCo performance cars.

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.

Mike I can't tell you as I don't have a GT but, since both cars have a Coyote, and both cars dropped 10 HP, and Ford stated this was why with both cars I would be willing to bet the HC trap is right behind your Mass Airflow Sensor.
