2017 Lincoln MKZ 2.0T Reserve Air Intakes?

Hello all! I have tried my absolute hardest to find any cold air intake, preferably by K&N. Does anyone know a cold air intake that would 100% fit inside my lincoln? I'm trying to bump the MPG up a little, and I miss the sound of the cold air intake I had in my previous car. Both I and my father have tried looking for hours and couldn't find anything that was 100%, so, this is my final chance.

 

Thank you all for your help! Links to the specific air intake would be so appreciated :)

Hi MKZlan. Take this advice in the spirit in which it is offered: The MKZ already has a very efficient factory CAI intake, which supplies far more than enough air to the engine for any driving situation. And most aftermarket CAI's are actually Hot Air Intakes, since they are not properly sealed and simply pull in hot engine bay air.

 

 If you still want the "sound" of an open aftermarket intake, then look for the Steeda Intake (if it is still available). However, no aftermarket CAI is going to increase MPG's, power, performance etc. in your MKZ over the factory CAI that is already there.

 

Let us know how you make out, and good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Well to answer in the simplest way, I have installed about a year ago a K &N cold air intake, and it really Does sound AMAZING! 
I will say tho, it is purely sound and not much performance even if paired with a tune. Also you gotta be careful of heat soak since you lose the stock air box and the filter will essentially be exposed. 
Remember the 2L ecoboost is the same platform as the Ford Fusion and Ford Focus St. Lots of mods to do for the car!
