I don't remember which thread it was in where someone in the 99-04 forums was looking for a Bullitt intake manifold so I'll post this here.
Bullitt Intake Manifold

Does that even gain HP?

[MustangMatt96GT]

Yes, it increases HP and torque, but not much on a stock GT. It does make your car respond better to mods though. If you are FI it can make a big difference.

"Bullitt Blast Performance enthusiasts know one way to increase power is to improve the airflow to the engine. If you own a 4.6 2V, it means installing an '01 Bullitt intake manifold. Unlike the plastic intakes found on all '96-present GT models, the '01 Bullitt manifold is cast aluminum which gives it some advantages--first, because it can be ported, and second, because if you run nitrous, there is a much smaller chance of blowing the thing into a million pieces should your engine encounter a dreaded nitrous backfire. Another attribute is the shorter, yet larger, runners. If there is a downside, it is the weight. The Bullitt intake weighs about 35 pounds, which is about twice the weight of the plastic one."

Interesting thanks

if i was gonna drop that money into an intake i would also look into the thr, proffesional prodicts, and trick flow pieces

[sonicblue]

that guy just had that posted last week. i bid on it up to 1000 and then i got outbid at the last minute. so either its a scam or the other guy didnt pay. i doubt he had two of them so i would ask the seller some questions about it. i wouldnt waste a penny on the proffesional products intake, or the thr but thats just my opinion, i also wouldnt spend the money on the bullit unless you had f/i or every other bolt on and heads and cams

I heard the trick flow is garbage more than once. I don't know about the THR product.

[mattstang]

dont know about any of them just throwin them out there

[MATT02GT]

That Typhoon intake is supposed to be decent. I like the 3 piece design so you can do some port work if you wanna.

[sonicblue]

i heard the fitment was garbage on it....maybe they fixed it by now??

[TurboLX]

Ive heard nothing but good things about trick flow

Professional Products are garbage, there made in china and built very cheesy

just out of curiousity.. how would the swap from a stock gt manifold to the bullitt manifold affect blower applications for instance? not centri, but twin screw like whipple or kb

i would imagine it wouldn't affect it a whole lot, since the blower replaces the intake manifold. on a centri, i can see the difference, but with positive displacement blowers, i don't think it matters since your block is still the same.

so if the blower replaces the intake manifold.. why is this manifold suggested for forced induction applications?

[drgnracin72]

well you do knwo that there are many differetn types of forced induction right?

[drgnracin72]

of course it cant be used with a roots blower becuase its replaced, but with a centri or turbos, its not

yeah.. i just assumed too much i guess.. since it said f/i i just took it as encompassing all f/i (plus the fact that i only just learned that twin screw blowers replace the intake manifold lol).. would u guys suggest postponing the purchase of any aftermarket tb or plenum and saving up for an entire kit like this? i was planning on getting 75mm accufab combo.. had no idea about what i would use for an aftermarket intake, though

[00vabchgt]

if you're going with a centri blower, you can still use a tb/plenum combo. if you're going with a KB or something similar, you still need a tb, but the plenum would be kinda useless.
