Originally posted by tw0wheelin: On your SE you have a different airbox than what is on the SVT. You can achieve some gains by going with a K&N drop-in (reusable) filter element. Also Cut some 1 1/2" diameter holes in the bottom/side of your airbox to increase circulation, or remove the bottom of the airbox completely and just wire tie the filter element to the top part. Consider pulling all the air resonator baffles out of your fenderwell to get more cool air into the air box through that rubber coupling. A How-To for improving the fenderwell air flow is at: http://www.contour.org/mods/showfaq.pl?howto/svtinduction
Heres some pics of a modified airbox for improved airflow. Notice that this is on the bottom (unfiltered) side of the airbox. (Top half is "cleaned" air which goes to intake.)
 I already have the K&N, but I'll have to cut the holes in the box- sounds like a good idea.
97' 2.5L Contour SE -T-Red Midas exhaust (grr...), Sony CD player, K&N airfilter, Mobil One Synthetic Oil, removed intake resonator, modified MAF, in-fender CAI, painted grill, Platinum tipped NGK's. I am looking for SVT E0's or E1's, SVT Upper & Lower Intake, SVT Throttle Body, and SVT Exhaust. If you are selling, e-mail me! Ford4eva@hotmail.com
