2013 to 2016 Ford Focus ST Get Powerful Modification with K&N Air Intake System
- 14 Apr 2014
Turbocharged… Sharp Handling… European styling… Attractive interior… Filled with technology… Hot hatchback… Made in America? Most people would say an American-made car with all those adjectives is fairy tale material, and a few years ago, they'd be right. However, today, all those phrases fit together in the powerful symphony of the 2013 to 2016 Ford Focus ST. The Focus ST is a completely new model and gives the elder statesmen of the GTI, Mazdaspeed3, and Civic Si and WRX a substantial run for the money with its turbocharged 2.0 liter four-cylinder motor churning out 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. Even with all this power the car still manages torque steer quite well and now, owners of this impressive little American hatchback have a guaranteed increase the horsepower and torque with the K&N 69-3518TS Typhoon air intake system.
The 69-3518TS air intake system is precision engineered to be a simple performance upgrade. The system utilizes a mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube, finished in a durable powder coating, to help streamline airflow into the engine and help minimize restriction. The inlet of the 69-3518TS is fitted with the RU-4600 air filter to provide your Ford Focus ST with excellent air filtration and efficiency. This air filter is a washable, reusable, oiled cotton gauze filter that can go for up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. A heat shield is also incorporated into the design of the 69-3518TS, thus helping to keep incoming air cooler.
All of these design components come together to deliver additional horsepower and torque to the wheels. On the dyno, the 69-3518TS produced an estimated gain of 7.3 horsepower at 5130 rpm and 6.9 pound-feet of torque at 3529 rpm over the factory air intake system. That'll help make your engine sing. The 69-3518TS performance air intake is easy to install and usually completed in 90 minutes or so using basic hand tools. It's also backed by K&N's industry-leading Million Mile Limited Warranty so owners can have the comfort of knowing that their air intake system is covered. The 2013 to 2016 Ford Focus ST hit all the checkboxes for an excellent small performance car - powerful turbocharged motor, refined interior and exterior styling, sharp handling, and a price tag that won't break the bank. It takes a true craftsman to develop a performance part that doesn't just add power, but does so with style, and K&N did with the 69-3518TS Typhoon air intake system. Owners of the 2013 to 2016 Ford Focus ST models with 2.0 liter engines can enjoy the added power and torque they'll receive from K&N's simple bolt-on air intake system 69-3518TS.
