Typical bushing designs can rattle your teeth out at idle or during throttle input. The Cobb rear motor mount is the best way to minimize engine movement, improve traction, and reduce wheel hop without major impact to NVH. This intake is a complete factory replacement all the way to the turbo and is compatible with the original factory tune and all available Cobb OTS maps Included is a pre-oiled, dual cone, filter to increase airflow and amplify that great turbo sound. Which is accented by a brushed aluminum Cobb badge. The gloss finish over a bold 3K Carbon Fiber Weave on the intake piping is coupled with a matching air box lid. The Cobb Ford Focus RS Carbon Fiber Intake is a great way to dress up your engine bay and increase performance. It's the last engine management solution you'll ever need.

If you keep up with our social media pages you know we’ve been having some fun with Live Video.Combining the world's best selling, most flexible ECU upgrade solution, with a high flow filter to increase air flow and an upgraded rear motor mount to improve traction, Cobb brings you the Cobb Stage 1 Power Package for your 2016-2017 Ford Focus RS. June 22nd – Taking Delivery of the Focus RS Check out the video below for our first look at the Focus RS on the Dyno. It didn’t take long for us to get the RS on the dyno to see some baseline results. The Accessport for the RS platform will be released soon! Stay tuned for more details on the release and information on hard parts and Staged Packages to come! June 28th – Baseline Dyno Results Check out another post on Interpreting Dyno Results for more details. The actual number isn’t too relevant as it will be different with varying dynos and conditions. Even if we were able to prevent the car from limiting power in AWD mode, the gains expressed as a percentage will be identical in either FWD or AWD mode.

The best way to dyno the vehicle is in FWD mode with the RDU disconnected. When this is the case, the car actually “thinks” it is losing traction which results in it intentionally limiting power. With the rollers spinning at a constant rate, and the vehicle trying to spin the front and rear wheels at different rates, things don’t mesh well. Keep in mind that the dyno rollers are linked front and back so they spin at the same rate. When the RDU is active (sending power to the rear wheels), it causes the rear wheels to spin faster than the front. This system is called the Rear Drive Unit or RDU. Instead, there is an electronically controlled clutch pack that sends a variable amount of power to the rear differential.

The Focus RS does not have a center differential like other AWD vehicles in its class. When our baseline numbers for the Focus RS were first released, there was a lot of talk about them being inflated and even more concern surrounding the fact we dyno’d the vehicle in FWD instead of AWD mode. The below will be similar to the released Stage 1 Off The Shelf map that will come on the Accessport! After more time on our dyno here at COBB they were able to come up with a safe and reliable Stage1 calibration that still offers some healthy power gains. Our engineering team learned a lot with their time on the RS in England. The Ford Focus RS is now supported! Check out this post for more details!
