A regular K&N pod works best. The one you want is an RU-3530 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits! Knuckles rebuilt w/new bearings $55 AUSSIE ENDLINKS $70 Gutted pre-cats $80/set A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!

Mirko K&N Filter Adapter, is that a good choice?

If I find something better, I probably won't wait too long before I take it out. There has to be a better solution than the drop-ins...w/o making the induction look too ricey.

Honestly, you're probably not going to find a better filter than K&N. Especially a KKM. If you want a KKM, you can have mine because I'm going with a K&N. If you've had a K&N, and didn't like it, well, go back to stock or don't waste your time IMO. 1996 Contour SE 3.0 <Alternate Site on CarDomain>

But when you get into 3L or highly modified 2.5L territory (not even F/I), a KKM has been known to both implode and doesnt meet the flow requirements for those engines. 1996 Contour SE 3.0 <Alternate Site on CarDomain>
