Go with a cold air kit that puts the filter in the fender or a ram air kit. The ram air kit will help feed the cooler outside air to the air filter but it doesn't actually "ram" or force air in untill you've reached speeds in excess of 100 mph (about 117 mph from what I've read). On my 96 Mustang GTS where the right fog light was supposed to be I just used 4 inch clothes dryer ducting and ran two tubes side by side from the fog light hole to the hole in the fender where the air silencer used to go. Worked very well but, as with any ram air kit, you'll have to keep the filter cleaned more often because of debris that will get blown on to it (bugs, etc.). Cost only about $4 for "ram air".

Also get some 3.73s in that thing at least. Gears make a huge difference. I would go with 4.10s minimum since you have a heavy vert. Your gas mileage will hardly suffer at all. And the car will be considerably quicker. Get a better X or H pipe and get rid of the 6 cat stock H pipe. Also replace the cat back with a better flowing one. Magnaflow, Dynomax, Bassani, Borla, Flowmaster are much better than stock. I didn't even have mufflers on my 96 but to each his own,

. If you want to keep your sound down get a high flow catalytic pipe. Don't get an off road pipe because it will be considerably louder.
