equipe2500's 1999 Mercury Cougar Lethbridge, AB Customized with Intrax Springs, Custom Strut Bars, Stinger Wiring, Custom Sub Enclosure, Alpine Speakers, MTX Audio Subwoofers, MTX Audio Amplifier, Sony Head Unit, Dynomax Exhaust, Weapon R Header, Cooper Tires, K&N Intake, BEL Engine Electronics - 79.The intake is an Bomz Racing SRI off of ebay, now with a K&N on the end (pic's are with the Bomz airfilter) I got rid of the GMK CAI extension because I was getting annoyed with having to take off the front tire, and fender just to check my airfilter. Plus it gets really wet and slushy up in Lethbridge when the snow is melting. Now I don't have to worry about hydrolock

I didn't bother taking picutres of the actual install, didn't want to get my camera as dirty like everything else.

Here is a before and after picture of my engine bay.

I got a couple videos of exhaust clips too. These were done when I had just intake and my exhaust done.

In car: 20-110km/h in the rain.

And the car at idle/reving

Here is an exhaust clip as it sits today. There is some fly-by's etc. in this clip.
