The 01 Escape I used to own had a Semi-Custom CAI. Basically I used parts that were avail. And mounted them differently.
I had a Weapon-R Intake Tube that is avail for the Escape 3.0. Installed a Heat Shield around the filter. Used the Ram Air Kit and mounted the "Funnel" behind the Fog Lamp instead of inside the grill. This was made entirely of Weapon-R components. And I cheated on the MAF. I used a GMS from an 01 Ranger 4.0 SOHC. Mounted right in. And was wired the same as the Escape. The only difference was the Ranger 4.0 had a slightly larger bore.
Not sure if there will be any CAIs avail since the Malibu has a history of being a family car.

Nobody has made one yet. Some people have tried short ram intakes from the Cobalt, but it throws CELs because the intake diameter is different and the MAF reads too high.
