aFe Power Takeda Stage-2 Pro 5R Cold Air Intake Kit-Ford Focus ST 2015-2017

Part Details:

The aFe Power Takeda Stage 2 Pro 5R Cold Air Intake System is designed to increase airflow, improve throttle response, and enhance overall performance on the 2015–2017 Ford Focus ST. By reducing intake restriction and drawing in cooler air, this system delivers measurable gains in horsepower and torque while maintaining street-friendly drivability.

Compared to the factory intake, the Takeda Stage 2 system is engineered to flow up to 35% more air, supporting increased power output under acceleration. Dyno testing shows gains of up to 14 horsepower and 15 lb-ft of torque, making it a solid upgrade for daily-driven and performance-focused Focus ST builds.

Sealed Intake Design for Consistent Performance

This intake system features a one-piece powder-coated heat shield that helps isolate the air filter from hot engine bay air. By shielding the filter and directing cooler air toward the intake, the system supports more consistent performance, especially during spirited driving or in warmer conditions.

Pro 5R Oiled Filter Technology

The Takeda Pro 5R filter utilizes an oiled, five-layer cotton gauze media designed to provide high airflow while maintaining effective filtration. This filter is washable and reusable, making it well suited for long-term use and routine maintenance.
