Anyone that has an SVT or knows of someone with an SVT or knows about the SVT - your help is needed....

Considering getting a CAI for the SVT - I have been looking around at 'em....The only ones I am seeing are AEM and the Steeda....well and of course the Ebay specials - Which I really don't know if I should be even going there......

Anyone have any recommendations on which is better? Any past uses?

My only comment would be, If you go the E-bay route be careful.

I have considered a CAI for my SVTF but I won't use a fliter that requires oiling.

This summer I am going to try my hand at building my own CAI using a MAF mounting from a Mustang airbox that uses the round style filter.

It my not be quite the same as a true CAI but it will flow a hell of a lot more than the flat Focus filter and I won't have the issues with a dirty MAF from the filter oil getting all over it.

good job jutz, i think we should start a pink foci club. me and you buy body kits and get our cars redone pink...hot pink, some black wheels with a nice gunmetal lip. we could be called "out of focus"

sorry econ is boring
