i bought one from ebay for the ZX3, it lasted about 3 hours total before the bottom bracket broke. with that said though, i just welded a beefier bracket on it and put it back on. it looks good and does the job but you get what you pay for. for 35$ i can't complain. the company that makes them is named "bomz" but i don't remember the exact vendor... anyway i think all he had was focus parts.

Instead of buying a off brand cai for 35-40 dollars why dont you just buy a used bbk, mac, etc. etc. one for 50-60 (maybe a little more)

I agree w/ blue^^^^..... However, my friend bought an ebay CAI for his SVT focus and it worked better than the AEM he bought later on. I think it's hit or miss......

I bought a MAC and no mods had to be done. BBK is good to and shouldn't need any fabricating to install. They are fairly inexpensive anyway and I'd just buy one of these new to save yourself any headaches.
