you get what you pay for, look for a quality intake like steeda, or aem

Save up for a good intake such as the Steeda or FSwerks. You won't regret buying a quality part once instead of a crappy one first, only to change it out to the good one later. Trust me, I know.

where do i find one of those for my focus

Per the above comments. The only way to know if an intake is 'good' vs. 'bad' is dataloging. That alone can be fairly expensive. Therefore, a Steeda or FSwerks will save you money as you can trust that they have already done the flow testing. When I built my custom scoop, I managed to screw up the laminar flow through my Steeda SRI. It took lots of testing, dataloging, changes etc. before I got it straightened out. I personally don't think Weapon-R would spend the resources to optimize there intake. Heck, anyone can stick a pipe on there and call it an intake.

Own it, and so far, I like it, put it on my GF's 2.3l Duatec and you could feel the power increase, they say it increases HP by 10-13 with a exhaust, so with a 2.5 diameter exhaust put on, I also noticed a change in sound, I think the exhaust makes it sound deeper combined with this intake, but lately I have been wanting to try a FSwerks intake to see how they compare.

yea i think im gonna go with the FSwerks

i had an aem in my civic, which was just amazing...it had a nice deep sound to it and it gave a good hp increase, they dont make the v2 aem intake for my ST but they have another aem intake which looks pretty promising that i was looking at, go to aemonly.com and you'll find it, you can't go wrong with the pioneer of the cold air intake :)
