Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications General Mods Intake Air Silencer Removal

Just came in from Mustangworld.com, and saw a how-to on removing a piece of rubber that extends from the stock air box to the side of the engine compartment frame. And then I ran downstairs only to find out that my Duratec 2.5 V6 also has a very similar piece. I was wondering if any CEGer has tried this modification already, it's supposed to more that double the size of the opening in which the intake has to work with.

I pulled my silencer off my SE and put a K&N in the stock airbox. After the ShoShop Y-pipe install, I am going to take off the stock airbox, cut a large hole in this and the inner fenderwell, install some aluminum ducting and route it down to the airdam area.
I am not one of the "KKM" supporters due to heatsoak issues. Total cost:
$6 home depot aluminum ducting
$1 jigsaw blade
$35 K&N panel filter

no heatsoak is good, esp this summer!

I jsut pulled out this big box shaped thing from the top of my fenderwell as well as this small cylinder shaped thing, this what your talking about?

Search for 'intake resonator'. We talked about this recently.
