...wow

There is no true CAI for the Contour. The CustomCougars CAI is the closest to one, but requires you to do some cutting and moving things around to get it to fit.

You can also contact Grandmasterkhan on CEG or NECO. He makes them for the contour.

Contact Grandmasterkhan on NECO. He designed the cold air intake. Custom Cougars ripped it off and have a cheap knock off of it on their site. It requires you to slide the battery and power distribution box over a bit and then to drill a 3.5" hole in the fenderwell for piping. Best intake out there. Get a battery relocation kit and it will all be much easier.

im not really lookin for a major mod since im a noob and all, i just wanted something bolt on. ive been doing some research on this and i think i can just replace the intake pipe from the mass meter to the manifold, correct.

 

[LostRacer]

Well actually you go the opposite direction. You eliminate the airbox and replace it with an open air filter. Yes the accordian can be replaceb by piping as well.

i found one on ebay can u tell me if its one that will work, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Raci...077437981QQcategoryZ38634QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem.

if you like junk

 

[2000ContourSVT]

would i be better off making my own pipe and attaching the filter to it.

Have fun with that. Do you not like taking advice? We've pointed out what's been proven. If you want something on a budget, get a K&N RU-3530 filter, and a MAF adapter. You can replace the accordian tube, but it's more than just a straight piece of piping. Or just order the BAT pipe from SPMotorsports.com.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...60001106773&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWA:IT&rd=1, that MAF adapter will work, correct.

 

[Ryan]

Again, if you like junk, sure buy it up on Ebay.

Click this link -> www.spmotorsports.com

Order 1) MAF Adapter 2) the BAT Intake Pipe and then source the KN already mentioned. That is the current best setup for these cars.

its not that i like junk but i seen that one on spmotorsports.com and i think 40 dollars is a little to much to pay for that adapter when i can get the same thing off ebay. and im still looking for the filter i want but im gonna get that adapter and some filter.

 

[contourSVT93]

40 bucks is not too much considering you add the $40 for the MAF adapter and then only like $33 for the 3530 from www.ajusa.com and thats only like $75 for the proven intake. Paying $70 for that is not bad at all IMO.

 

[Ryan]

The ones are ebay aren't the same as the SP ones, as the SP ones are bigger and alot of the ones on ebay are smaller than the opening on the MAF.

i think 40 dollars is a little to much to pay for that adapter when i can get the same thing off ebay.

Autozone also sells a maf adapter. I'm not sure if it would fit and how well, but it's something you can check out in person.
