ColdSteel · March 2nd, 2009, 10:35 AM

what is it? so i can tap it out.

thanks.

cant you just take the crossover off your old intake, and swap it over onto the pi intake? someone on this forum told me i could do that... cuz i have a pi intake and i was worried about that a while back too..

I don't believe so... I was under the impression that the gasket would get destroyed and you can't buy that gasket through Ford... I may be wrong, but that is what I remember hearing.

Sorry Coldsteel no info for you...

So 97GT4.6 you just took your NPI crossover off and swapped it with the plastic one? I thought it was near impossible to get the gaskets, or did you use RTV?

97GT4.6 · March 2nd, 2009, 04:35 PM

oh, your nPI crossover is aluminum, and the PI one is plastic?

If so, you can't switch em out, only aluminum to aluminum you can swap out.

tommyt411 · March 2nd, 2009, 04:40 PM

Oh, ok!

97GT4.6 · March 2nd, 2009, 04:40 PM

Yeah, so do you have a plastic crossover on your pi intake?

tommyt411 · March 2nd, 2009, 04:41 PM

I don't think Coldsteel would be tapping a plastic crossover, but I could be wrong...

97GT4.6 · March 2nd, 2009, 04:42 PM

Hopefully not, i dont think that'd go to well. If its aluminum, he should just swap em out, and be careful not to rip the gaskets, and he'll be fine. No need to tap it if you dont need to.

tommyt411 · March 2nd, 2009, 04:45 PM

How hard was it to take it off without tearing the gaskets? Just time and razor blade?

ColdSteel · March 2nd, 2009, 08:15 PM

yeah its a new aluminum crossover pi intake.

i dont want to reuse the one thats currently on the car, im building a new motor on a stand i want to beable to pull the old one and drop the new one in.

reps to both of yall for helping...my reps dont seem to give any points lately though...

-edit-

damnit 97GT it wont let me rep you, i guess i've repped you in another thread lately

mustangracer2g · March 3rd, 2009, 12:32 AM

hmmm so that gasket isnt easy to find? at all? cant use rtv? or anything like that either?

red96stang · March 6th, 2009, 04:40 PM

is the pi intake that you buy at the dealer the one with an alluminum crossover or is that the plastic one

depends on the year...
99-mid 01 plastic
01-04 aluminum

ColdSteel · March 6th, 2009, 06:09 PM

you cant buy the plastic one from the dealer anymore. they changed it because the plastic one was garbage.

but yes you are correct
