Ive had this 97 Ford Probe GTS for about 2 years now. Last year I put in Injen intake and Brembo Rotors and Breaks. I also have the rear PRD rear strut bar. This years mod are as posted. I want to do a 2" drop and 18" rims someday.

Installation wasnt too bad. I broke a needle though and had to buy another cluster to replace the part. You live you learn. It looks good though. I wired it directly to a light of the existing cluster so it turns on like factory. No need for a seperate switch.

Mid December I started to get some ticking noise under 1800K RPMs. Almost a lifter type of noise. Took it to Ford and It was the timing pulley bearings. So with 88k on it I got the timing belt, water pump and the rest replaced. Running great now.

I finally got the brakes and Brembo rotors in. I also painted the calipers with Dupli-Color brush on paint. It turned out nice. I need to put another coat on them though.

Before and After:

Results:
I'm very happy with the intake. The throttle is more responsive, actually more touchy. You get a small torque boost at about 3K RPMs but then a huge one at about 5 1/2K RPMs. I paid $190 on ebay with free shipping. Is it worth it? If you have the money to burn and you want the brand and look then yes. Other intake systems could do the same for less.
