Re: Would da Focus CAI fit da Cougar's I4???

It will work with some modification....thats what I'm running currently. Although if you want quality, buy one from zxtuner.com. There's one made for the Cougar, plus no modification.

that's a short ram.. not that either will give noticeable difference in driving.. although the short ram does seem to have a little better throttle response.

Re: Would da Focus CAI fit da Cougar's I4???

My focus one I got was a CAI not SR, but when it was all chopped to fit it basically came out like the ZXtuner one, which is the closest the zetecs come to a CAI setup. The pipe I have left over from the kit you could prolly make it into a true cai, most I'd need is about 8" of straight pipe from autozone.

Re: Would da Focus CAI fit da Cougar's I4???

yea.. i'm pretty happy with my CAI on the cougar.. but i live in louisiana.. so i should have probly just left it short ram and been done with it.. it just got done flooding like a foot of water down my road.. and anything bumper and up my filter get's soaked. I still haven't gotten hyrdo lock yet though.. weird.. but either way.. i'm not sure a CAI makes anymore of a difference than a SR does.. atleast not on the I4

Re: Would da Focus CAI fit da Cougar's I4???

Starting out it doesn't give you a big bump in power, but it does keep your engine in good working order & gas mileage up. The SR brings in hot engine air which kills gas mileage & can harm the engine in the long run.
