Has anyone tried one of the cheap ebay cold air intakes on their fiesta se sedan?

I have considered trying one of those out. But I didn’t see any advantage of that unless louder intake noise is on your wish list.
There are very few power improvements that will work on the basic Fiesta because Ford has the engine controls locked up tightly. So reflashes for bigger injectors and throttle body and more radical cams is off the table of possible upgrades.
If upgrades were available for the engine the next issues would be the economy oriented gearing in the transmission. None of those are inexpensive areas to address.

I have tried several "mods" to the OEM intake on mine.

The noise level - or rattle from the intake manifold - does not help me feel any more secure in power delivery.

Although if you have the time to review the OEM Airbox, there are several baffles in it you can play around with or you can see a product in this thread - which looks to provide a lot more promising result.
