OP Dave98SVT_dup1 Newbie D Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 3 Jenison,MI	I'm having problems with my modified air intake so I am trying to go back to the stock setup. I have 98 SVT and I purchased an air intake for it at a junkyard and I don't think it's the right model. It's a large rectangle shaped intake and I thought my car took a cone shaped filter which leads me to believe that this is the wrong one. Can anyone tell me what my intake should look like, and where I could possibly get one?

The SVT intake (air filter housing) is cone-shaped. Edit. SVT stock air filter housing. Last edited by Tony2005; 08/21/06 10:10 PM. "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles

Nah, I think the engine was "photo-shopped". "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles
