Resontaors on the intake are usually there to -
1. reduce the level of noise emanating from the engine.
2. reduce torque peaks.
3. increase torque dips.
It has been my experience over a number of cars that the intake resonators actually do reduce both noise and horse power. (97 Nissan Sentra, 2000 Mazda 323, 1998 Mitsubishi Lancer, 1999 Honda Civic)
Unfortunately, havent removed the Mondeo's resonator due to lack of parts.
The mondeo has a poor design from the factory. While resonator removal using the elbows and piping will gain you some horsepower, a true cold air intake, eg CTA intake with GMK extension, will be the best option. This will have the best improvement in the torque curve possible from an intake.

What is the purpose of the thing pictured below?
And what does the thing circled in green do?
the thing in the green circle is your MAF(Mass Air Flow) sensor it is not really a restriciton on your intake, that i know of atleast
98.5 Black SE ATX
S&B filter, SVT MAF, optimized SVT TB, mesh grille, removed orange reflectors, painted rear reflector, gutted pre-cats, optimized SVT LIM, 19lb injectors, resonator removed
cant afford an svt but lookin for 1 in nc

Does that type of air filter give the car more acceleration? and isn't that bad because hot air from the engine is going into the intake? and if you think that that engine is dirty, you should have seen it about a week ago before I cleaned as best I could with a wet rag.
