Do you guys think an RS intake box would fit on my 16 ST?? I like that it has cut outs and also seals up against the hood...looking for more choo choo noises without any heat getting in. Thanks guys.

You can order just the box. It's around $80 and fits any MKIII Focus.

Unless there was some unknown change in the 16 engine compartment I can't see it not fitting. It's been installed on my 2013 Focus ST and even on other MK3.0 Foci, and the base air box hasn't changed substantially since then.

So yes it will fit, but you have to buy the whole air cleaner assembly as Ford doesn't sell the lid separately.

Thanks guys, I will have to price it at my dealer. I want that engine cover too!

 

[BooSTedFoST]

It's $80 at my dealer as well. I was just there last Friday getting my oil changed and I figured I'd go ask. I've seen them online for around $50 from random Ford sites, though.

Does the RS engine cover fit the MK III?

 

[ericwp]

yep it fits and looks a lot better

 

[Bryman13]

Fits in no modifications necessary, looks great, and is surprisingly affordable. Why haven't your bought one yet!?!

it looks to me that the intake tube looks like that of many aftermarkets as it looks more like Round (like aftermarket, and how it should be) as compared to our ST stock ~oval shape intake tube... does that seem accurate? Do you guys think that intake tube would fit up to our stock system?

That would need some testing since the RS uses a different stock turbo.

I was thinking just the first half of the tube from the airbox to the connecting section halfway behind the engine cover..

Interesting idea on the airbox. That with a silicone elbow to match, drop in, and an intake tube might be a slick setup.

You would be connecting a circle to an oval. Not going to work.

Blast. Why is geometry such an enemy?

On a 16 ST, I am not a fan of the ST engine cover.

Just to confirm a couple things - the RS airbox itself will work fine on any 2012+ Focus ST, and the open section presses up against the hood. The intake tube from MAF sensor to turbo will not work, because the RS intake tube will not reach our puny little turbo inlet.

 

[JMLST]

Just remove the air-box cover. That is free. There has been plenty of debate about this and a good thread on here showing that the intake temp did not increase that much at all. I have the cover off with a K&N filter. Sounds great!

Anyone got a part number for the intake box cover? Can't seem to find it anywhere

Part number and where you acquired the box?
