Yeah, I installed it like 5 years ago with SMX aka Wayne, here on the boards when I lived in Atlanta. It is the Hayden 404 transmission cooler. It is recommended for everyone with autos. I would agree to use it or one like it for the 3rd gen. There are other ones out there too. They are all universal and it isnt hard either.

That first one looks similar to mine. I can measure mine for you all to see what the dimensions are. I will try to do that today. I am also going to attempt to install my Ford Taurus single Din cup holders I received this friday. I will be taking pics of the install once it is done. I am taking out the original Equalizer because I dont use it. If anyone wants it I can sell it. Its still in good condition. My current headunit has more than enough equalizer settings so this one just sat there.

do you notice any difference with that roll bar?

The strut tower bar? Yes, most definately. I can take turns at speeds I couldnt do without it. It really helps with the rigidity up front. I love it. Dont let the home made look fool you. It works.

That'll be great if you'd get those dimensions for me, they will assist me in my deliberations....heheh. Post those pics of the install you do regarding the cup holders. Come to think of it, that is probably the oddball of our cars, the lack of cup holders...... Few more questions Q, 1. I want to take the resonator off, how would I go about re-routing hoses and plugging them up? 2. What do I plug the hoses up with? 3. It seems that AAV unit does not hinder performance nor does it hinder emissions, I'd like to take the entire unit out so that I can work freely in that area, is that possible?

Details on what I need to do and what needs to be bought would really help me out.

Thanks.

P.S. Here's an image of my current setup:

it looks like max88 just bypassed the aav unit? my intake looks like yours, but his looks way cooler with the pipe going straight into the throttle body...

Looks pretty sweet.

Setup looks great, hope the performance ur getting out of it is what you expected.

Yes, it is great. Performance is noticeable throttle response and especially higher in the RPM range. Yes, I bypassed and stuck a filter on the AAV unit.

Still need to get those dimensions for ya. Ill try to do it sometime this week.

how do you recalibration the air flow meter i have a manual but it dosent seem to say to much about this do you have any links about this or can you tell me thanks

you dont need a filter on the aav unit all it does is put fresh air into the exhaust gas
