They have a dyno on there site from a zx2 that was equiped with a similar intake, you'll net similar gains as the zx2.

Thanks, those are some respectable gains 8-10HP.

Will the car not need a better flowing exhaust. If more air goes in, more has to be able to come out. I thought....

True, you do need a higher flowing exhaust to get the full benefit of that intake. But you can install it on a stock engine and still see gains. I'm pretty sure that zx2 had an accel coil and a different muffler. So, I doubt you'll see the gains they did if you install it on a stock engine.

The ZX2 that was tested was all stock except the coil and wires. The ignition gains almost nothing so most of the gains on that vehicle were from the intake kit. The exhaust was stock too.

The dyno plot said Accel Coil Pack, Magnacore, CTA Intake.
10 HP gain
8 lb torque gain
I'd say those real numbers, in that we would see the same gains.

CTA people, do you have any exhaust systems for a zetec Contour, the Exhaust page says all contours. But it just doesn't look like it will fit.
If not what would the odds of a ZX2 or focus cat back bolting on.

Thats why Chris is here...I wasn't sure about the exhaust, now we know. I guess I'm just too lazy to go and look at the dyno.
