    ou better check the hood clearance. theres not alot of room under the hood for aftermarket filters on a I6, espically the 250 which is a little taller then the 200.

    It is unlikely the expense is worth the gain on an otherwise stock engine.

    when i did the scoop and open element airclaner on my stock 250 i could feel a little more power, not much but it was there. it was just a 3'' round chrome one i got at autozone for $15 but theres no way in hell it would fit with out a hole in the hood

    try mustangsunlimited.com and run a search for "6 cyl". i think they sell a nice chrome aircleaner that works along with a few other cheap I6 goodies.

    goodluck
