intake and exhaust suggestions?

[baddadiam]

FocusSport CAI and Stealth Exhaust

I have a 05' zx4 2.0 and with the exhaust/CAI it makes it feel like a whole new car.

I second that notion

The Focus Sprot CAI is great. For exhaust the choice is all yours depending on what sound you like. Trubendz, Focus Sport, Magnaflow, MBRP all make great products for the Focus

do you guys know much about what kind of differences in horse power you get from one manufacturer to the next? or is it all about the same? i've seen one k&n intake for $327!!! i mean are u just paying for a brand name or horse power? same w/ exhaust... why is the mbrp $400 less than a borla???

Power out put is usally the same, and for the most part you are paying for the name. But remember that you get what you pay for and a higher price when it comes to car parts usauly equals better quality.

As far as intakes go the F2 & Focus Sport will net you the best power. The Exhaust's are all about the same. It just depends if you want a 2-1/4" or 2-1/2", if you want stainless steel. The list goes on and on. However they should all net about the same power out put.

I'm kind of in the same boat as Baddadiam. I have an '07 ZX4 with the 2.3 Duratec and the only exhaust I can find from FS is a 2 1/4" which would require mods to fit the factory body kit. I was just on the Borla site and it says they don't have any part #'s for the '07 yet. I'm adding a stage 2 FS turbo kit so I'd like to go at least 2.5" diameter, don't really care if it's stainless or not. Help!

[baddadiam]

thanks guys im most likely going to go w/ the focus sport for both. i just this focus like a month ago... it's still new to me and im not sure of what all im going to do to it , but the cai and exhaust seem like a must. i just traded in my 07 rubicon inlimited for it because the economy hit our family really good. what are (if any) some low-buck mods i can do to boost preformance?

If you are going with a Turbo then you have to choose between Trubendz & MBRP they both offer a 2-1/2" system that will work with your setup. Focus Sport is going to be coming out with a 2-1/2" system, just not sure when.

There are really no cheap mods. However if you want to get a intake I would check out the for sale section there are always a few intakes for sale in there for cheap.

I have the F2 CAI and the 2.5" Borla exhaust which may still be available and on sale. Check around the "other" Focus forum. 2007 2.0L with a bunch of stuff....I finally got a 91 octane tune from FocusSport and the improvement is better than I had expected.
