Back to the topic...is anyone else looking to get the air intake tube with the resonator?

I am for sure.

My HyTi built 4/24/13 does not have it.

You are getting very close to the build date of my MKZh that has the resonator.

[LASooner]

I would guess the MKZ probably took priority over Fusions because it's the "luxury" brand, so there's probably Fusions built after yours that still don't have it

MKZh models had the chamber as of March. Fusion Energis have been built with it all the way back to February. See this post for the most recent data. I added LASooner to the chart because his car is the latest HyTi without the chamber and someone suggested that perhaps SE models and Ti models got the chamber at different times.

I ordered the new tube from Levittown's website. I got a call in 5 minutes from Mike to let me know it's on backorder. I'm ok waiting, so I confirmed the wait list. Total with delivery will be about $43. Great customer service so far.

They are quite the hot item now.

Thanks Herman's for testing the new resonator. Mike was glad to hear that I got my info from this forum.

They should order a large quantity and make an $40 offer to all those interested here on the forum.

I definitely want one.

At Levittown Ford they are $28.00 the rest is shipping. I checked two local dealers and they were $48.00.

Yes you are correct the $40 was including shipping I should have added that detail sorry.

Took mine in to the dealer today for an oil change and ordered the part while I was there. Order sheet says it is on back order with an estimated delivery of 3-31-14. Parts rep said don't be surprised if that date is missed. Price was $43 plus tax.

Got one delivered from Levittown Ford Wednesday, fitted it last night 2/27/14 to our FFH SE with a build date of 11/3/2012

My Wife will be the first to drive today - I won;t get to try it until tomorrow.

My service guy is trying to see if he can get it replaced under warranty

How would he be able to do this? Is yours broken?

Maybe he his a hobby magician and wants to try his skills on Ford.

Anyway good luck with it saving money is always cool.

"Customer complaining of unpleasant noise" He said since the part was revised they were aware it was problem so he's giving it a shot. He hasn't gotten back to me on that, so we'll see. It's backordered anyway, so there's no rush

Well that's a good one. Let us know if it works maybe there will a sudden spike in customer complains about unpleasant noise.

"My service guy is trying to see if he can get it replaced under warranty"

 

I know I'll step on some toes here, but this is dishonest and irritates me.  Those of us who have early 2013s knew there would be improvements made, some of which like the PCM update Ford did at no charge.  But I don't think the intake falls into that category.  I have the highest respect for Ford and want them to make money on the great job they've done with the FFH.  They can't do that if any improvements they apply to a new model year have to be retrofitted for free on the prior year's vehicles.

[LASooner]

If this was an upgrade only on 2014 models I might agree, but same model job2 cars built 2 weeks after mine received it. Considering I paid over $1000 for an extended warranty I wouldn't feel bad about it, and their service department recommended this, I didn't even consider it. I just told them I wanted to order the part. If this is something others can take advantage of under their own warranties, I think it's important to mention. How is this any different than other TSBs?

 

All that said nothing has happened yet.
