I think I am going to get the K&N filter for now and maybe a different intake system later.

There will be a difference in performance with better throttle response (the k-n is pulling more air in at a faster rate of speed) we are on a mission, with overtones of extreme personal danger

I might want to get a different intake system down the road, but not right now. 2000 SVT Contour (Tropic Green) -Toyo Proxes T1-S's (215/45 ZR 17) -17x7 Emkei RS5 Wheels -Sylvania SilverStars (High and low beams) -Pioneer DEH-P4400 -Pioneer TS-A6867's (front and back) -K&N Air Filter

The K&N comes pre-oiled and should be good for ca. 20,000-40,000 miles before it needs cleaning. If you do opt for the K&N don't apply too much of the oil to the filter when you clean and re-oil: it may contaminate your Mass Air Flow sensor resulting in fluctuating/surging idle speeds (approx. 1500-2500 rpm).

You will feel a difference w/out any added noise/moosing issues. I have one and highly recommend it. PM me if you have any questions - pxracing@aol.com Also..that drop in AFE is designed for the 3.8 (?) Ford Mustang engine, so it flows plenty for our cars!
