Here's some pictures: In addition, here's a not-too-ancient picture of my 96SE: [I tried to make these pictures dial-up friendly] 1996 Ford Contour SE (Mine): V-6 MTX/DMD/MSDS/K&N3530/Torsen/Spec-1/Split-Exhaust/Walbro/Syncromax..119K 2003 GMC Yukon XL SLT (Hers): 285HP/Stock..93K

Now what made you probably the ONLY person who went with MSDS headers and other mods and still never bought a K&N? Usually a K&N is everyone's first mod. None-the-less, looking great, and those cars do have a VERY stock look to them too! Maybe that's the reason for the stock intakes... 1996 Contour SE 3.0 <Alternate Site on CarDomain>

I've debated getting a different filter and intake setup, as I don't want to fight heat soak. When I find a good deal on MSDS headers+Y, I'll be installing them on my wife's SE -- one bolt on the stock rear exhaust manifold is broken, so there is a little exhaust leak right now. Installing the MSDS on my 96SE was a pain, but it was WELL worth it! I prefer keeping the Contours looking like they're completely stock -- they attract much less (unwanted) attention that way! 1996 Ford Contour SE (Mine): V-6 MTX/DMD/MSDS/K&N3530/Torsen/Spec-1/Split-Exhaust/Walbro/Syncromax..119K 2003 GMC Yukon XL SLT (Hers): 285HP/Stock..93K
