Damn Plastic manifold

svsstang · May 12th, 2007, 05:20 PM

Well i have had my 97 GT for about a week now and i already cracked my intake manifold where it connects to the heater hoses!! Napa sells the replacement for about 300$ but where is the best place to get an aftermarket one that will last and not put a dent in the wallet? please help

well since u need a new intake manifold u might as well upgrade to the PI intake from the 99-04 mustang gts. it will give u more horsepower and cost u about $200 on ebay

theres not really a good aftermarket npi intake.

beheivjer · May 12th, 2007, 10:17 PM

or get ahold of me and i think i can still get the pi from work for 175 plus shipping, id have to check monday for sure but thats what i think. its been a few months since ive gotten one out

MustangMatt96GT · May 12th, 2007, 10:42 PM

You will also need a new coolant tube and nipple and intake gaskets and they will cost you around 100 dollars more!

beheivjer · May 12th, 2007, 10:52 PM

my kit comes with the parts, and gaskets,

MustangMatt96GT · May 12th, 2007, 10:59 PM

WOW thats a deal then!

I got my PI intake for free just shipping, but then I have spent around 115 for the extra parts! I also got 20 new injector orings for 40 bucks!

beheivjer · May 12th, 2007, 11:07 PM

it helps to work at a parts store for fords, we supply motorcraft to the dealers in my area. my boss is hooked up good with ford, the jerk ordered a gt500 for himself and just last week they called and asked if he wanted to buy an orange one that they just got in. so he will have one and so will his wife.

svsstang · May 12th, 2007, 11:39 PM

sounds like a great deal. Check your pms. im interested

97redgt · May 14th, 2007, 01:13 PM

So your kit comes with pi gasktets, pi coolant tube, nipple, alternator bracket?

Shipping qoute to 18960

beheivjer · May 14th, 2007, 02:30 PM

i can do 225 shipped for the pi and 250 shipped for npi

odd that the npi is more but that is the way it worked out.

this is the pi i have with me right now

let me know

beheivjer · May 14th, 2007, 03:32 PM

I have a 98 and it didnt need to use a different tube and i read that you can ust the same one from the npi but you have to modify it to work

svsstang · May 14th, 2007, 11:28 PM

check your pms

MustangMatt96GT · May 14th, 2007, 11:39 PM

That intake in those pictures is not made by ford! First of all it has a redish pink plenum gasket, and second it has the holes in the manifold! It is still a PI, just made by somebody else than Ford!

ChrisJ · May 15th, 2007, 08:22 AM

I would jsut get one off ebay...They are only $209 from Ford and thats at regular cost...

You can find PI and NPI intakes for around $100 used...

beheivjer · May 15th, 2007, 11:31 AM

the ones off of ebay do not come with a warrenty do they were as these come with a one year warranty as long as you keep a reciept.

I mean I am not trying to knock you...I am just letting him know the other options...

97redgt · May 15th, 2007, 08:26 PM

You can get a pi intake oon ebay for 200 shipped with lifetime warranty...

beheivjer · May 15th, 2007, 11:13 PM

ok then go get one there i was just offering

and where do you go for the warranty mine is through parts plus im sure there is one of them around most areas, where as online is online usually send it in wait and see

ujslost · May 15th, 2007, 11:22 PM

I like the intake pictured, looks like you shave a tiny bit of weight off with that one having the holes inbetween a few runners.
