Herearea few pics to help, that's the MAF wire, unplugs, and plug back in once you get it out the air box.

Sorry, first is my old 98 V6, second is my GT, but it all looks the same and plugs in the same, just different designs, that's all.

YES. installing an intake is the biggest improvment for your buck. forget 1BHP that people talk about as that sounds lame & puts people off. last week i instaled the stock intake that came in the trunk when i got the car as it had a 40dollar chrome fenderwall intake with a cheap looking blue filter. & basically the stock system had a 60buck K&N filter & it drove like crap, there was no low end power & you had to practicall stand on the pedal for seconds to even get it to gev & pick up in the rev range. i did this because i wasnt convinced they made any difference but they most definatley do, specially on a powerful car like mustangs. now i just touch the throttle to rev it & i flys up to 2000rpm with one little touch. every mustang owner should get one of these. so the whole system cost less than the K&N filter that came with it & is 10000 times better. & its sounds cool too, mine is really loud, like a turbo dump valve everytime i change gear.

biggest improvement for your buck if it's free maybe. aside from that, 4.10's or nitrous take the cake.
