No kit currently out there can offer the best of all worlds...meaning best filter, maf adapter, best heat shield. Use these parts and you will spend less then any comprable(sp?) kit and have a much better setup!!! 90 mm (3 1/2") MAF Adapter K&N RU-1785 filter (5" wide 8 1/2" long) BAT or CTA intake pipe (you can skip this and use the stock accordian tube to save money) Heat Shield Cold air pipe (to provide cold air to the "filter area") and removal of stock fender boot.

If you want to mod the stock accordian you can do that too buy cutting out the actual accordian section and inserting a straight 3" tube in there, instead. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!

If I had to do it over again, I would have gotten the RU-1785 and the bullet Pro-M 75mm MAF. No adaptor needed, save the $45, and spend it on the Pro-M, instead. Sold 1998 Contour LX 13.868 sec 1/4 mile time. Two years of rental cars, seriously. Holding out for 07 Cobra Mustang.
