mine was free and easy to get for free, all you have to do is rearend a SUV and ask for an allignment from the repair shop. sure your car is gone for a month or so, but hey, can you think of a better way to save 20 bucks?

how did ford pick which contours to put these on? mine didn't come with one unless previous owner removed it.

Definately need more info on the filter cone drilling. Surely he means the plastic thingy that surrounds the filter cone. I'm sure it will add growl, but won't that also let in heat?

Right..the plastic cone that surrounds the SVT air filter. Take it off...turn it over..and drill 5-6 1'2" holes in the 1st 2" of the base of the filter...5-6 on each side of the tab that goes into the MAF. When your filter is off, put your head into the engine bay and look down. You'll see a pretty clear path to the ground. Hence why to put the holes there. That way...you have air being drawn from the fender draw, as well as the freshest air from under the hood. I also removed my hood liner, and removed all but 12" of the hood seal from the firewall (where air is taken in by the cabin filter) to promote air flow/heat removal.

Did the engine sound change? Any perceived power difference?
