I'm too tired to be a nazi...
ru-3530 K&N
MAF ADAPTOR..
straight to the MAF..
done.
Use a heatshield, either homemade (rubbermaid trashcan) or purchased, if you can grab one..
EDIT: I'm more awake, now.. lol
There aren't what I would call "downsides" other than heatsoak. It is the most common form of intake modification performed on the Duratec. Running without a heatshield will not cause BAD performance, just "sub-par ones", when sitting still.
I can't recall offhand where to GET a MAF-adaptor, but I will be looking, too. Enjoy the newfound power and SOUND you get from an open element.
