Although I'm not really a mad tuner/modder with my rides, a little aftermarket goodies to bolt-on (e.g. air filter, CAI, exhaust, ECU) doesn't really hurt, I guess? Just starting up a thread to cater for LW owners (or future owners) whom would like to spruce up their Focus a little.

ECU tuning will more then likely lose you your warranty.

Can you post up some pics of the mods. I think mine would look great with that exhaust.

![]() Weapon R - Secret Weapon Air Intake System The Secret Weapon Intake was designed, to increase air intake volume to the engine. The concept is to create two different air velocity profiles, one traveling at higher speeds than the other. This technology increases air volume and speed to the engine, which naturally feeds the engine 3x more air than the conventional air intake system. The intake pipe is bent out of high quality 6061 Aluminum on our Automated CNC mandrel bender. Polished to a high show quality finish. The SW1 Air filter features a tuned velocity stack to increase velocity and decrease turbulence. Only Comes In Polished. 1 Million Mile Limited Warranty Open pore high density re-usable foam Source: http://www.carid.com/2012-ford-focus...ke-285269.html |

It's great to see the aftermarket goodies coming through. Not entirely convinced about the CAI. I'd like to see a pic of it installed before I'd even consider it. I would hope that theres some sort of shielding from the engine bay.
In some cases putting on a CAI could see you going backwards as far as power is concerned. I'm in the process of getting my wife's forester tuned and theyve changed the design of the air box a fair bit, and tuners have found that what would previously be a gain in power with a CAI, is now a waste of $500 or so. |

.. okay, I'm probably gonna ask a dumb question. How do you remove the stock air-box cover to change the air filter element? I can't seem to get it open. I did see 3 hexagon-shaped plastic looking nut/screw but since I don't have a ratchet, couldnt test if that will loosen. Any ideas? Haven't owned a Ford prior to this so not familiar with this configuration. Thanks!

If it's like the LV, and from what I can see it is, loosen the hexagon-headed screws in the top of the airbox lid and simply lift the lid off. The top of the filter is actually the right-hand side of the airbox.
Here's some progress shots of a K&N install. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Sysh Don't suppose you can supply me with a link? That's a pretty awesome price. Can't seem to find the seller that you've bought it from though.
