I have seen this come up a few times with no direct answer, so I am posting this thread to show how I went about installing the 2J cowl intake on my 2016 Fiesta ST. It is actually rather straightforward, and does not require much extra on top of what is required for a "normal" install on a '15 or older. This will NOT serve as a full install guide, as there are plenty of tips floating around in other threads, but this will serve as a checklist for those of you wishing to perform the install on your newer model FiST. Total cost is around $340-$350 for a plug and play solution.
1. 2J Cowl Intake (obviously) - $220
a. K&N Dry Flow Wrap $30 - Recommended for anyone who uses their car as a daily, regardless of local weather patterns - many people have reported totally clean cowl areas, but I had a decent layer of dust/dirt under mine. Good insurance for the cost.
2. JMS MAF Extension "05-14 Mustang" - $49 (~$63 after shipping)
For those who don't want to cut into their MAF harness, this will be required, just like on the '15 and older. Exact same setup.
3. Whoosh Motorsports "EVAP" Fix Kit, w/ 42" Vacuum Line (~$45 before shipping)
Make sure you contact Ron @ whoosh before ordering - it is at his discretion whether or not he wants to continuously cater to this specific application and whether or not he will charge extra. 42" of vacuum line is the perfect length for you to route wherever you'd like. This is the piece that attaches to the t-fitting; the other bit with the red cap attaches directly to the intercooler pipe, as it normally would.
4. Joe sends a small rubber section that (I presume, as I did not try) connects to the crankcase to act as an attachment point for the thick hose that he also provides. Not sure if this is the case on the '15 and older, but my '16 has a sensor of some sort (not sure what it does, but wanted to retain it) at that point that I did not want to delete; I simply removed the sensor from the factory hose assembly, as pictured, and attached Joe's new hose to it (fits perfectly). I used my own clamp at that point as well for added security.
Other than these points, all install steps are exactly the same as on the earlier model years. I hope this helps some of you who are looking to do this!
