4.6L Performance Improvement (PI) Intake Manifold at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

Lefty · October 25th, 2008, 10:16 PM

That's the one I bought for my GT when mine blew. So far it's workin' out great!

ndfrspd · October 26th, 2008, 01:34 AM

ebay man, i just got one for 120 shipped! save me 80 bucks for a c.a.i.!

to answer your question though.... it says on that page

"It can be used on 1996-98 engines with Performance Improvement (PI) heads. Additional modifications and parts required."

G.T. Rags · October 26th, 2008, 01:50 AM

u can use it, read the sticky at the top of the page

Gt98 · October 26th, 2008, 03:21 AM

Cool yea read the sticky i was having a stupid moment

Oh Lefty did you notice any significant gains after replacing it?

Lefty · October 26th, 2008, 12:45 PM

Uh, I don't really know. My car was out for a good 2-3 weeks so I didn't drive it obviously til' it was back on. I was driving my Honda, so when I got back in the GT yes I noticed a difference lol. But I think it was more of a mental aspect like "new part in engine" thing. Or maybe it was cuz I went from driving the Honda to the GT again...

Gt98 · October 26th, 2008, 04:56 PM

Yea i know what you mean what kind of honda were you driving i'm looking for another car incase the stang has anymore problems

Lefty · October 26th, 2008, 05:03 PM

Gt98 · October 26th, 2008, 05:58 PM

G.T. Rags · October 26th, 2008, 06:13 PM

Lefty · October 26th, 2008, 08:32 PM

+1

JiMi_DRiX · October 27th, 2008, 04:00 AM

So you HAVE to have PI heads to put this intake on?

Lefty · October 27th, 2008, 09:43 AM

I bought that one from American Muscle. My engine is completely stock. With non-PI heads and she works just fine.

Gt98 · October 27th, 2008, 04:20 PM

cool yea i was looking for a better throttle body to run any good recomendations? and also was hoping to avoid doing pi heads for now eventually i will do them

Lefty · October 27th, 2008, 05:43 PM

I just stuck with the stocker. Sorry bro, no input here for ya

fairlane_68 · October 27th, 2008, 07:52 PM

Get it from Summit. Same price as Ebay, or less, plus you get it from a seller who can back their products up should anything not go right. And remember to use compressed air to clear out your spark plug holes before you reinstall everything.

Gt98 · October 27th, 2008, 08:24 PM

haha thanks a million lefty lol and yea i was glad you let me know about the compressed air

thanks

Lefty · October 27th, 2008, 10:08 PM

That's what were here for. Feel free to PM me if you ever got anymore questions, or just post another thread. Good Luck!

No you dont need pi heads to put a pi intake on. You have to make a few adjustments such as a coolant line and nipple and you have to cut the gaskets, but other than that, its pretty simple.

ndfrspd · October 28th, 2008, 03:51 PM

I just bought a new intake manifold and it came in the mail. Its a stock replacement so its non-pi, and this paper that came with it says that it doesnt need a new gasket when replaced because the gasket is molded into the manifold itself.... true?
