As any good car owner I feel the need to make improvements even though this is the DD car and it only cost me $200 not including the work I did to put it on the road. So I read about the CAI for the 94 Cougar 4.6L and they want lots of money for there I say. So I set out to make my own. To start of the factory part is Huge and doesn't flow very good. Here is a pic to give you and Idea.

Now the car takes off way better. It sounds like a V8! What do you guys think? It only cost me about $30. I removed the air silencer before this.
Hmmm.. I don't think it looks to bad. Good job and way to be creative
now just get rid of the box and drop a cone K&N in the fender.
Now hack up the original tube so it will sit on top of your new intake and look stock. That would be sweet. :)
Neat:D
Is that PCV?
Bigger MAF, bigger TB, adjustable cam gears and a good exhaust.
Is that PCV?
Nope! I do believe that it is ABS plastic.
"PCV" is the valve for your car,"PVC" is the plastic tubing
I know, I was bein a smartass
No, you were being a postw....
Nice work. I've heard that the "violin box" intake is very restrictive, and it may have some baffle(s) inside for noise reduction. I like what you did. I got lucky with my '96, as it already had the revised intake.
Also, you may as well keep the stock air box, as it's essentially a cold air design and an aftermarket piece won't really make that much of a difference.
Be wary of the K&N filters, too. If they have too much oil on them, the wires on the MAF can become coated with the oil. This may cause the MAF wires to become built-up with poo and make the car run like butt.
Yes, I'm a wordsmith.
Indeed.
