That's no different, really to the stock SVT Airbox setup (probably worse actually). Mind you, I don't think they make that filter in a 3.5" opening as required to match an SVT MAF.
Nonetheless I wouldn't touch it with a 10ft barge pole, even if they did.

TRUE i dont think they are big enough for a v6 but they work wonders on 4 bangers and the heat shield does a huge difference. I loved my ractive heat sheild and im gonna go get one.I sold it with my old car cuz it matched the engine which was really clean and mean looking. btw u should get some aluminum 3'dryer hose for the cold air pick up

I don;t know if its the pic or my eyes, but that filter looks really small......Personaly i like my Big 3530 K&N and my d-tech heat sheild....works great. That thing looks so restrictive becasue the air is comming in form one point, insteat of all around like an open eliment filter.
I must agree, for zetecs witht the smaller throttle body, this must help..but for duratecs, my belief is that it is the same as stock...until i can test it i won;t know for sure.

Well, it may be better than the stock non-SVT panel filter, and it does bypass the convoluted stock drinking-straw intake path prior to the airbox, so maybe there is some real improvement? Does look small, though.

I was expecting small. But that is a tiny little booger!

 It doesn't look like heat shield, but it does look like a small enclosed filter that can only draw air thru an intake hose. If you were running an open element, I think you just bought a downgrade.

it is really small, I doubt it can flow enough for a duratec, not sure about the zetec guys.

 The manifold looks much darker in person. The pic sorta changed the color. Anyway, regarding the filter: Bag all ya want, this thing simply rocks. I agree it looks like a pencil eraser in that engine bay, but I'm telling you, there is no lack of air coming through this pup. Remember, this filter was originally intended for the glass case in my showroom. I put it on simply for comparison's sake. Now it's staying. In the words of RogerB, "Function before fashion".
