Hey guys finally got my intake installed ( YAY!!!!!!!)[clap] Pretty straight forward install but it does fit snug..... I have never had an aftermarket intake before and i was wondering... When i was letting it idle i could hear a gurgling/popping sound coming from the cone??? Is that normal i mean everything is tight and No CELs (YAY!!!!!!!!!) and car is running great just wondering if that sound is normal ????? [dunno] Other than that it is awesome and sounds AMAZING!!!!!!!! plus you can feel a difference off the bat... Now is there any number of miles it takes for the computer to recognize the SRI????? sorry for the crazy questions never had an intake before and want to make sure everything is alright...[ffrocks]
I'm actually surprised at the difference in the car...... I didn't think it would make that big of a difference....pleasantly surprised now to see if I can get some more MPGs....
Thats awesome. I plan on getting one but I heard the Steeda SRI is too tight against the headlights on an 03-04... So I've gotta get something different. Problem is that Steeda is the purdiest.
Yeah, its a little tight on my '05 too. I have to undue it to change the headlight bulb, but its no big deal. I feel its the best sri out there & I don't have to worry about the filter going thru water or anything like that.
Would anyone be nice enough to please send me the link to the Steeda CAI I need for a 2009 Ford Focus SES?
Also, do I absolutely need to tune it or can I drive with the CAI without being tuned?
best part of having a mass air flow car vs alpha n or map tuning stratagys is that they respond well to mods the car can see the increase in flow and add fuel without a tune as long as you don increase flow to much such as forced induction
