The Focus ST is a well-rounded car in just about every aspect, and the intake system is too. The stock Focus ST Intake system is designed well, and the community sees that. Still we felt that we could take the good & the bad from the stock system and make it even better. It was a long engineering process all those years ago when we released it, but we are proud of the results of our Focus ST Intake.
Focus ST Intake Features
- Fully sealed custom designed airbox using factory ram air
- Perfect OEM fitment
- More than 5% gains in upper RPMs
- No power loss in lower RPMs
Available powder coated in Satin Black, Ford Race Red, Playboy Blue or simply in our Titan™ Finish, the Alpha Intake offers the most well thought out solution to getting air to your turbocharger yet. The Alpha Intake comes with a full 3.00" mandrel bent tube. Welded onto the tube are a CNC-lathed port for the PCV system, a CNC-milled MAP bung, and a laser cut support bracket. This kit includes a clear plexi-glass window on top (ships with orange peel-off protective coating).
Intake Construction
The intake tube attaches to the air box through a 5-ply silicone elbow and a CNC-lathed aluminum bellmouth. This velocity stack bellmouth smoothly compresses the air to provide a minimal amount of energy loss which translates to a higher air speed through the tube. We include a 3.00" air filter specially designed to give the most free-flowing air possible. Additionally, this comes with your choice between Dflow™ (Dry) or SynOil™ (Oiled) filters.
Part of what makes the stock intake system well-rounded is the great design of the stock box. It brings in cool air efficiently and isolates the filter from the hot air in the engine bay. Where the stock box lacks is where the cp-e® Alpha Intake shines above all. The Alpha Intake box is laser cut and CNC-bent 18-gauge stainless steel. Stainless steel is great for this application for not only its resistance to corrosion, but also its thermal properties allow the interior of the box to stay cool, even when the box itself heats up. The box utilizes both stock fresh air ducts and also sucks up cool fresh air from the wheel well. The box is topped off by clear plexi glass to seal the filter from the heat, providing a sweet view and easy access to the filter. Lastly, the box easily mounts in the stock location with the laser cut brackets and CNC-lathed mounting feet.
