I dont know how much one is but I hear that the P-51 intake manifold is awesome. Not really sure, get others' 2 cents before completely following my advice. [&:]

about $1200 for a p-51...

sounds like your looking to get a stocker with an alum.. crossover then.

Even if you wanted to fork out the cash for a p-51 or something along those lines, you wouldnt begin to tap its power on a stock engine. Pick up a stock one with the aluminum crossover and be done with it.

i think the new shiney one from professional products would be nice bling bling under the hood but its kinda pricey. Id say go with what they said. Stock with aluminum cross over.

i read an article about the pro. products on 5.0 mustangs & superfords and they have a dyno chart on there and it doesnt start making power until it hits 5600 RPMs i shift at 5000 so its useless for me

In the May 2006 Issue of 5.0 mustang and super fords, there is an article about an Anderson Motorsports and Professional Products making an Aluminum Intake that looks like the stocker. It is supposed to be around $500 for the natural finish and $700 for a polished. I think this is worth looking into.

My intake cracked on my 99GT. I just went straight to my mechanic and asked what he could get. I forgot who made it, but he got it though Advanced Auto Parts. It was a stocker with al crossover. $240 from what I remember. Headmon maybe? Call advanced or auto zone and see what kinda brands they carry and how much$$$.

The P-51 would be nice but for a couple hundred more you could get a Richard Racing intake for the 2v. They put out more hp but you will have to buy a cobra throttle body which cost more.
