Sent an email inquiring as to the "portability" of a Mondeo application to the US Duratech. I'll share the reply with all (unless Terry already knows the answer wink ).

It looks good, and the ST200 one is likely to be a direct fit for an SVT.
My problem is that nearly $400US is tough to swallow for an air filter no matter how good it is.


It's all about balance.

mmmmm carbon fibre.

See if the company can email you some pictures of the mondeo ST24 and ST200 intakes. I think the ST24 will be the correct fit for the SVT contour. I am curious as to what the intake includes for $400. I'd consider buying one if it somehow is cold air or if it has a good replacement design for the stock airbox and intake hose.

Very interesting indeed...I just read the website info. It draws air from behind the grill. Heat is shielded by the carbon fiber that it is made out of.

Hmmm...forced cold air induction?

Still, $400 is way too much for an induction system.
