I am interested in buying this short ram intake but I am not sure if it will fit my 2006 Ford Focus ZX5 with a Duratec 2.0L DOHC engine.

Anyone have any idea if this would fit my car?

[duh]

the bombz are a total piece. you will thank yourself later for investing in something like the ones in that link.

if you are looking to do it on the cheap, you would be better off going down to PepBoys and piecing together your own. They have filters, prebent tubing, couplers & clamps. Less money, same/better quality.

the bombz are not the bomb (that's a play on words, some of you should be laughing)

i highly recommend the steeda SRI, if you want an SRI as opposed to a CAI, i am very happy with mine

this is the steeda, it says cold air intake (not sure why) but it is a SRI

 

[nomoreavril]

on that bomz one i dont see a place for a maf..

 

[madmark10]

i have the steeda, it is pretty good i guess( nothing to compare to) lol

 

[FocusFreak87]

I bought mine from autozone (one pipe for a SRI) and had to make my own MAF housing pretty much (cut a hole in the pipe and siliconed the MAF into it) But i have a K&N filter, not that shitty spectre one.....

 

[TSnedSi]

bomz is bad, no good

 

[cruzstyle]

if your short on money just make your own that what i did cost be about 16 bucks for the filter and the coupling then it took about 30 mins to install had it on for about 2 years and some change works fine just remeber to oil it

 

[five-speed2.3]

ah man, now you guys got me thinking about makeing a SRI after i just did my "stealth" CAI.
i was worried about mounting the MAF myself. the steeda kit looks like a winner if you have $230 to spend.

 

[cruzstyle]

the steeda was only 130 or somehting i thought i dont remeber it being over 200. i lke the steath intake but i wont to an cold air dont want to ever risk it

 

[five-speed2.3]

555-3104
Cold Air Kit for Duratec 2.0 & 2.3 - 05 - 06 $229.95

are we talking about a different one?

 

[SkyPilot]

the bombz are not the bomb (that's a play on words, some of you should be laughing)

HA HA!

like everyone else says Bombz is no good and you could get it cheaper off of ebay, you dont wanna buy stuff for your car you want to "invest" in stuff for your car kinda like "go big or go home" spend the extra now save more later

 

[cruzstyle]

yes i was talking about the SRI not the cold air

 

[five-speed2.3]

ok, i feel stupid after posting that, when i knew you guys were talking about the Short ram. but when i look at the steeda CAI, it looks like a short ram. i wish you could direct link to the steeda site, but cant.

i cant seem to find a SRI for duratecs though?

 

[gitar111]

the thing that steeda calls their CAI, does not go all the way down like every other CAI ever. But for some reason they call it a CAI. But i beive the one that's 299.99 is the only one steeda makes for the duratec, and that's what i have and love. sorry for all the confusion

 

[rockn4]

Yea, i peiced together a CAI with using the stock parts while i saved enough to buy the Steeda SRI, just using the stock parts and *average* filter. it wasnt much of an upgrade, then I gained alot more by installing that Steeda

Dont get me wrong, a CAI for like 20 bucks is nice, but still going through that huge air box took away some serious power

 

[BlazingCopper_ZX3]

How much MORE did you gain with the Steeda SRI?
A quote from Steeda's home page: "We made 6 h.p. and gained more torque, too, with this billet bolt-on".

So lets see: Homemade "Stealth" CAI = 6whp for $25.00 or $4.16 per whp gain.
Steeda CAI/SRI = 6whp for $229.00 or $38.16 per whp gain.

Well at least you got some nice shiny stuff for your extra $34.00 per whp gain.
Looks like that "hugh air box" dosn't have much effect after all.
