so basically i should cancel my weapon-R intake and cold air box? supposed claims of "10-11hp" from the cougar websites?

Very good numbers. Are these claims or are there acutal dyno charts to back these up. Again realize these #'s were with basically no exhaust mods at all save for the midas muffler in place of the RES. Also the AFE has never been tested on a non-svt so I'd love to see what it can do to a well modded Cougar or Tour.

I'd be interested to see how the cold air box looks, I need ond of these for sure.

There was a thread awhile back about this intake setup. I think the claims were justs "assumptions" with no dyno plots to back up the theory. And the price didnt make me jump at buying this setup. I personally would go a different route with proven results, rather than taking someone elses word for it. Just my opinion.

I'd pass on the weapon-r myself. The filter on that setup is junk filtration wise. Unless you change your oil every 3000 miles, I,d give that afe a try. Don't know how it filters, but can't be worse than weapon-r...or blitz stainless mesh!!!

Oh believe me it's not...Filtration is extremely good from what I've been told. It should make a good difference on oil change intervals minimum!!!

I've got the dyno charts, now I just need to post it...I'll get to that later, Aloha

i'll update my profile later but the Weapon-R is cancelled; "R" system looked rice anyway, but I liked the so called "performance gains" posted on the Cougar website. Send me the dynoplots and the mods on that car... PLUS PICTURES!!! I'm so down for this [email]quartr@nyceboicreations.com [/email]

Along with the Brullen and Diablochip my SVT should be happy... very happy. Lets see some plots! Do I need any other modifications? Intake Pipe, adapters or such? Is it just drop in? E-mail me, my cars almost ready for the street again (summers around the corner!)

Can you beat $63 (shipping included) to Sacramento, CA? AFE part number 20-35012 from AFE website with free shipping.

Do I have the wrong part number? From SB's first post the part number was different.

Nyceboi go ahead and email me and I'll assist you further on pricing. I'm not posting any prices on this Thread. Email: Silverbulitt@msn.com ....Aloha, Micah

I was visiting a friend this weekend who had the June issue of Hot Rod magazine with a multi filter test including AfE,K&N, Holley, etc. and there was no real difference between any of them. Alex
