Dorman Intake Manifold Q


Well my original 97 GT manifold finally cracked and im low on cash and time so i got a dorman from Autozone for $200 and i got new injector orings from carquest as i work there. Now it already has to drilled and tapped holes on the aluminum crossover so im guessing i dont need to drill and tap one obviously. Would this intake be a PI or just a NPI replacement with an aluminum crossover. and it should be just take everything off and replace with the new intake right? and do i need some black rtv for the job too? Thanks yall

A PI intake will have to be drilled and tapped. A npi intake will not.

You need to buy an intake for a 01-04

dorman makes pi and npi intakes. if you bought it from autozone chances are you have the npi intake (they asked what year gt, etc) theyre not bad. i ran a dorman npi on my car for a while before switching to the pi intake manifold. realize, however, that you probably couldve swapped to a used or even a new pi intake manifold for not much more money or work - and seen a bit more rwhp.
