Looking for a quick way to gain some power and make your car sound great? Add a cold air intake. The featured kit in this post is available through JLT Performance and was specifically designed for the 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder. For best results, the car was retuned after installation. The sound under acceleration lets you know you have a V8 alive under there; as the factory intake is way more restrictive and has built in silencers. It also looks much more attractive and was good for a noticeable performance gain.
