I know there is a large debate on performance gains, but I LOVE the sound a short ram intake gives to a V6. I had both a 1999 and a 2002 Cougar and adding the short ram really made the car sound nice.

Anyway, I am not very handy, but wondering how difficult the Takeda is to install? I remember having to have my dad help with my Cougar's and wondering if I should line him up again lol.

 

super easy; lots of install threads on here I'm sure plus Stillen's intake has install instructions you can check out (it's all the same basically).
