This works on my 2003 GT Automatic.
Ok, we all know about the intake silencer. Its debated, some say it helps, some say it hurts. Either way, the object is to get more air into the engine. One problem still remains, we're drawing air into the engine compartment via the fender. There is a small hole at the bottom of the right fender so that air can get in. This hole is tiny. To see it, take out your airbox. Take a look into the hole that the silencer normally extends into. At the bottom of that "gap" in the fender, there is a tiny hole, the size of a half dollar or a quarter maybe.
Take a hack saw and get under your car. I cut a few little notches extending outwards from this hole. Then I bent them up making tabs. I did it enough to about double the size of this hole. It can be done much further, you can make the air intake hole under your inner right fender probably nearly 5 inches long and 3 inches wide.
With only double the size of a quarter dollar, I did feel a little more power. Not much maybe, but enough for this 30 second job to be worth it. I'm wondering if I made the hole 5 inches long and 3 inches wide if I'd pickup more power.
Remember, to see this hole you have to get under the front right rear fender and look up.
Anyone else do this, or did I invent a free mod?
