What better way to quiet it down and refine it up than with the DMD. Don't know what Jaguar did instead - maybe just softer mounts and more noise deadening??? 97 Contour SE MTX K&N 3530, UR UDP, 19# Injectors, mystery mod, FMS wires, Fordchip.com chip, SVT: TB, Flywheel, clutch, exhaust 04 Grand Caravan SXT
