I figured it's a little better than stock, and I'll never have to pay for a Ford paper filter for 15 bucks for the life of the car. 2000 CSVT #1172 of 2150 Toreador Red...Birthday -> 1/4/2000 Indiglo Gauges Drop in K&N Sylvania SilverStar Highs in Lows Fog light Fix Pioneer Premier P730 Sound by Audiobahn White HVAC Panel Security via Ungo MS2007 *Elky Mesh Mod

I listened to the comercial and in their test there was a gain of 23 hp or something like that at 900 cfm. Thats a ton of airflow. I dont know what the svt pulls in but I dont think its close to that. 1998 SVT #95: Toreador Red - SHM headers,K&N Filter, Energy Suspension MM inserts, Cross Drilled Rotors,Redline Tranny Fluid, Custom Billet Aluminum Shift Knob
