I own a '95 Contour with all sorts of SVT ad ons... exhaust, sway bar, rims... and some lowering springs. I want to get some more power in this bad boy and I was wondering which intake would be the best... KKM? K&N? Other? Now I have tried to get some info on it around this site, and needless to say it's a little confusing. Can someone straighten it out? Thanks a lot... Kyle :-) 1995 Contour GL (V6, 5-Speed)with lots of add ons! SVT dual exhaust, sway bar, brakes, and 17" wheels. Eibach lowering springs. Sound system with component speakers and a 15" JBL sub.

I dunno....put it this way, any open air filter will benefit you over your stock one. Once you get the air in, work on the exhaust to get that air out! 1999 Silver Frost SVT #609 of 2760 Born on 12/3/98 KKM Intake Removed Resonator 35% Window Tint all around Tinted Tail Lights ElKy Mesh Grilles HID Dyno'ed at 175.3HP/155.5TQ "How much must I live through just to get away..."

K&N - HP-2010 I just got one installed and I've been using Mobil 1 for the last 10,000 miles. Since I switched to the K&N Filter, I get absolutely NO NOISE on startup. I used to get a little lifter tick for the very first second, until the pressure built up. But with the K&N Filter, I don't even get that anymore. Go for it !!!

From what I've seen replacing the y-pipe is the best step to take first. After that, I'd have to go with anything and everything to get more air into the engines. I've seen the biggest gains on the intake side, not on the exhaust side. Dave Andrews Black&Tan 2000 SVT 225 of 2150 Bassani..
