Hey guys i have a 96 escort lx auto

I'm wondering how do i get to and take out the air intake silencer. I've look through a few threads but none of them give step to step instructions.

Any help would be cool

Thanks,

Chris

hey guys..if your not sure how to do it..can you tell/show me what it looks like?

You usually have good response to your threads. Not sure why not on this one. The 91-96 models have the boxlike air filter element and on mine it is conical. Other than that, the front end of the air intake is the same. I think there are 3 bolts holding the air cleaner housing in and there are 2 bolts holding in the air silencer. Take all that off. Deep six the air silencer going into the fender well and bolt the air cleaner box back up. All you have to do is tear into it and you will be able to figure it out. It's not very high tech. lol.
You'll get a nice throaty roar upon acceleration. You won't get much more horsepower, but it'll sure sound like it's pumping out more ponies. ~Dave~

Hey dave...i already took out the air silencer a couple days ago..I took out the entire air silencer and drilled a couple more holes at the bottom for more air to pass through and i might drill more holes or cut out some of the bottom of the air filter box to give it more sound.
Do you think that this setup is a good idea?

Thanks,

Hi guys

I'm wondering if the quality/performance and price of this cold air intake filter is any good.

Please take a look at the link below and let me know.

FeO2 loves fresh unsealed holes... especially with large volumes of humid air pumping past...

sorry but i'm not sure what you mean..

Ferric Oxide a.k.a. "rust". ;)
Depending on where this rust may occur you may not have to worry about it, but just best to be aware.

I remove my silencer and drilled holes in the base of the air cleaner box. First time I got in some major rain it started running bad. I think it was sucking up some water so I covered the holes back up. In hind site I wish I had left it alone.:2cents:
