I was wondering if a ZX2's intake would work on our Zetecs, and also if anyone knows if those have that air box that muffles the sound like our's do, thats why I'm asking this because I want to mainly get rid of the air box. Also get a cone filter too. Thanks in advance. Jason G. 1997 Mercury Mystique GS ZETEC ATX Born: 11/96

Not a great idea though. And a focus intake will probably work better than a zx2 intake. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

All I had to to was make a hole in the pipe for the IAT sensor because it did not have the hole. It worked out great.

If you want performance, do a little searching on CEG and you'll find that a few people have built their own intakes cheap.

Also do I just get a hose or something and connect that to the MAF and run the hose to the cone filter? With a lot of the intake setups I see the MAF is connected right with the cone filter, of course with a MAF adaptor. I'm confused right now. Edit: I found this, it looks like it'd be a good intake setup. Cheap, clean looking, anyone that has this setup like it or has any info on it that the site doesen't tell you? The asking price on it is $94.95, after shipping it's $100.43. Also does anyone know if it has a hole for the IAT sensor? Last edited by mystique97; 08/04/05 06:30 PM.

Guaranteed loss of power and mpg with cone filter on MAF. Maybe not alot (1-3HP/TQ and 1-3mpg) but its there. Of course, you could put a air screen on the MAF (like the SVT) to get around this.
