Haven't you been saying that for a year or two now?



That sounds about right to me. I've even offered to do it for him a couple of times that he's come down here for a meet.

LoCoZ, ZetecNinja, ZetecRacing, ButtonPuncher and a few others that are the pioneers of the zetec forum would have spent the $ if the intake had been produced.

Hell yeah, I would have!! For some reason it all fell through. Instead I bought all of the tubing and elbows myself. I would have it done by now if I actually had some money. I still need to buy the crimper and terminals to relocate my battery. Right now it is starting to look like mid-May before it's done. (Sooner if my 401k payout shows up.)

I will post a detailed how-to once my CAI is complete. BTW, parts alone, my CAI is around $300.

A CAI is not hard and not spendy to build.
It can be built for less than the cost of the CTA intake,
it's easy to find parts, and it's easy to install.
The hardest part is opening up the fenderwell hole if you choose to, but you can leave it as-is.

What is needed;
(1) K&N drop-in filter
(4) t-bolt clamps
(1) piece of stright pipe (atleast 2 feet long)
(1) 90 degree silicone coupler
(1) 45 degree silicone coupler
(1) stock airbox

90 degree elbow on TB and 45 degree elbow on MAF, cut pipe to fit between, and drop in the K&N filter. Rip out all the cr@p in the fenderwell.
If you choose to; completely smooth the inside of the stock airbox, plug the pcv hole on the airbox, add an air horn to the inside of the airbox, and use the remaining section of pipe to run from the airbox into the fender.

The stock intake is not an airflow restriction, it is an airflow disruption. But doing the above, you remove the disruption.

The CAI fell through. I had nothing to do with it. StreetFlight decided it wouldn't be worth it to produce. I was simply the messenger trying to generate interest amongst Zetecers. The interest was there, I thought, but I guess SF didn't agree.

The 2nd unit that Stolon has was handmade by us in my garage. We simply got the "okay" from SF to build it off of their design. It wasn't terribly hard (I think aside from the fenderwell hole, the IAT sensor was the biggest pain).
