Hi, i was just wondering if there is a short ram intake available for my 06 focus. I asked the dude at autozone and he said that there was no such thing because of the way the engine is. However, i wanted to check with you all before i called it quits.
Thanks

autozone is lying, there just about the most lazyest people on earth.

There is a short ram for it and I saw it, look in there performance calalog.
if im not too mustaken try cross reference with the mazda 3, like i said I not to for sure if the way the intake are the same thing.

Awesome, i wouldn't have thought about the mazda 3. I wonder how hard it would be to install?

First off, Autozone is not a performance shop. Generally they are filled with idiots. Second, they are easy to install, the hardest part is pulling the old airbox out.

here ya go man....i luv mine.... www.steedafocus.com

i'm sorry but which one do you have, and is it a cold air intake

once again, real sorry if i sound dumb but i'm a total noob to performance mods and thought a short ram intake would be a good place to start.

Is it the "Steeda Cold Air Intake - Duratec - '05-'07"
Cause thats the one i'm leaning toward.

steeda says it's a colda ir intake, but it's a short ram. I had to ask a few people before i got one too.

Thank you,
Thats what i love about this site, you ask questions and recieve well informed answers. i love you guys, i just want to scream it from the rooftops that i love you guys.


p.s. thats a joke... from that new movie thats coming out. Don't get me wrong though, this site is great.

Check out that site too, they offer great prices and if you talk to ray and get signed up under focusfanatics, you get a 5% off of everything

Also the steeda sri has a very nice sound to it when you get on the throttle at about 3000rpm's. It is one of my favorite mods

Honestly, the sound is probably what i want most. I mean pickup is good too but i really want to steer away from the bumble bee motor sound. As i understand it, the nicer sound doesn't really kick in until your past 35 mph.


P.S. i basically just said what you just told me

yeah....the steeda sri is way pimp....i used to run a kn typhoon cai and it was cool too....but the steeda sounds a hell of alot meaner....im quite happy with the change.

I have the steeda as well, its sound great and looks really great as well!!

I went in there the other day and looked through they're catalog. Most of the intakes short ram or CAI are like $200-$300. Thats ridiculous for some piping and a filter, so i'm making my own using a K&N filter and parts from the stock intake. Best part is that it can be either a short ram or a CAI depending on where you mount it. Cost? $70

My dad ordered it for me!!!!
How freakin awesome is that. He left a note on our computer this morning that said, "i went ahead and got your intake, see you tonight." And he left the receipt and confirmation number. I love my papa. I wonder when we'll get it.

Life Rocks

ya but with the steeda you get a full housing that goes around the fister to protect it as well. Really nice setup I scored mine used here for $75.00.
