FocusSport's CAI - I just sold my old one to Oscar. It's a great intake and it works well in all seasons from my experience. I recommend getting the spray for it to re-lubricate it as well. Removing the stock intake is a bitch - be warned!

I haven't tried other intakes, but I have the Steeda SRI and I love it. It's nice cause it sits right behind the driver's headlight and comes with a heat shield, so no worries of water intake. Huge difference from stock, and the sound it makes when you open it up is music!
As for ordering it...I would go straight to the manufacturer. It will cut back on your wait time and headaches!!!

i have the steeda, it works very well for the price, also has a nice whistle to it at about 3000-3500rpm while accelerating. any intake will work, only diff between a true CAI and a short ram (like the steeda) will be a couple ponies, but at least you don't have to worry about hydro locking at all.
read this thread, if you haven't already, and if you have well read it again lol.

from what i've read and my personal exp the intake helps throughout the whole power band. an exhaust would be more top end only. thats what you should get next, then a tune and call it a day.

I ordered a K&N CAI for my FOcus ST 2.3L as well. Will I can better exhaust notes with the CAI? I have a Borla exhaust system. Just wondering how it sounds.

I had the steeda sri and the mbrp on my 07 st and it sounded great when I gave it gas. It probably won't be much louder because you already have the exhaust.
