I agree s70....the oem is the best right now.. I know at least with the s40s they heat up fast, and any of these aftermarket intakes don't help since they're not cold air setups...honestly though, if I had the money i would dump the est in a second and get the bmc...i def felt a little difference in power with the est but most importantly it was the sound that I got it for..but the reason the bmc is hard to find is due to its performance, the foam insulation is the closest you'll get to heat reduction in a intake setup without making your own cold air...the est works great for me at least in the cooler weather, but driving around with it last summer it might have sounded good but it didn't help the heat situation one bit.

seriously, you should get a solid plan, and get one thing at a time and do it right...dont just jump from taking your maf apart to getting a downpipe...wait till you have the budget and start getting your parts and then when you're ready to have them installed you'll do the ecu tune...

I agree 100%. Bretm,your questionshavebeen answered several times over in all of your posts. Figure out a money/hp goal, and do some researchto figure out what you want to do. From this topic alone you can decide what will give the most "bang for the buck".
You said you work at a Ford dealer, won't anyone there help you?
