Ramair Performance Air Intake Kit – Ford Fiesta MK7 ST 1.6 EcoBoost (Pleated Cotton Filter)
If you own a Ford Fiesta ST180 and want to get a little more from your engine, this Ramair intake kit is a straightforward and popular first upgrade. Designed specifically for the MK7 Fiesta ST with the 1.6 EcoBoost turbocharged engine, it replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a freer-flowing setup that improves how air reaches the engine.
Better airflow means the engine can breathe more easily, which typically results in improved throttle response – meaning the car feels more eager when you press the accelerator. You may also notice an enhanced induction sound, giving you more of that turbo and intake noise that tends to go missing behind the standard plastic airbox.
What’s Included
- Ramair pleated cotton performance air filter
- Black powder-coated heat shield – helps keep hot engine bay air away from the filter
- Silicone coupler – a flexible joining piece that connects the intake pipework securely
- CNC MAF housing – a precisely machined housing for the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor, which measures the air entering the engine
- Full fitting kit with step-by-step instructions
The pleated cotton filter is a reusable, washable design – unlike a standard paper filter that needs replacing. When it eventually needs cleaning, Ramair’s own filter maintenance kit (CK-003) is compatible and keeps the filter performing as it should.
Installation
This kit is designed to be fitted at home with basic tools and comes with clear instructions. No specialist equipment is required, though if you are not confident working in the engine bay, having it fitted by a garage is always a sensible option.
Important: The kit includes a CNC-machined MAF housing. It is essential that the MAF sensor is transferred carefully and fitted correctly during installation. An incorrectly seated MAF sensor can affect engine performance and may trigger warning lights.
Performance Expectations
An intake kit like this is best thought of as a refinement upgrade. It improves throttle response and induction sound noticeably, and works well as a foundation for further modifications. On its own, outright power gains on a standard car are modest – but combined with other upgrades such as an ECU remap, the benefits become more significant.
This kit is designed to fit the Ford Fiesta MK7 ST with the 1.6 EcoBoost (ST180) engine. Use the vehicle lookup tool on this page to confirm fitment with your specific car, or check the Vehicle Fitment tab for the full compatibility list.
