On a 1999 V6 mercury Cougar how much of a difference does a intake system make to the cars performance?

A simple cone filter and a MAF adapter will not get you any gains. Replacing the stock Accordion tube will get you maybe 2-3 HP and one or one and a half MPG, but only while moving and in cold weather. Putting a cold air extension like one from Nautilus Performance Group will maintain the above gains while standing still, increasing available torque for take off.
There are turbo's and super chargers available for the cougar as well. By dropping in a 3 liter Duratec V6 and a Vortech Super charger, I've seen people pull low 400's, but the cougar is not heavy enough to put all that on the ground.
