Default 2.3 aftermarket?

Anyone know where i could find performance parts for a 2.3 hatch? Looking for a c.a.i. and an exhaust package at the very least...

They dont make CAI for the 2.3s.... you have to make em your self. Thats what alot of the peopledid here.

I am using a tubular ranger from a 96 ranger. Not much of a sound difference though, just a lil bit more power but not much. I will get my videos up in a lil bit.

People make CAI out of tons of stuff, PVC pipe, metal tubing, large bendable hosing, exhaust tubing, and I guess you can mod a 96 V6 mustang CAI to use.

What year is the car?

auto zone has a diy cai kit that doesent cost too much and you run it however you want thay have acouple of diff degree elbows diff. length strights and so on you would just have to figure it out. I did it on my 96 accord and my friends loved it.

The way I've been planning my CAI is to bore out the stock main straight tube. I just haven't figured out how to bore it evenly yet.

Well I wanted to see if I could keep the stock look. Also, since the OD on one side is 2.5" and the other is 2.75" on the 93, and I have to keep the MAF, I would have to get an adapter with and ID of 2.5" and an OD of 2.75". I haven'te been able to find such an adapter.
