Default intake manifold.....help!!!!

My car was leaking anti-freeze so i brought it to the local ford dealer and they said the intake manifold was leaking and antifreeze got into my oil and i needed a new intake manifold. I figure, this is my time, get an aftermarket intake manifold. Before i give ford the go ahead to order a stock manifold, anybody got any suggestions on aftermarket intake manifolds, i have Cold air intake and borla cat back. Also, could i install this myself? Thanks

Get the stock one. Make sure it has the aluminum crossover on it so it doesn't crack again. Aftermarket intakes are way expensive.

Go with a stock replacement. You'll spend over a grand on an intake manifold for 10 hp, not worth it.

How much is the stock plastic intake??? compare the price with the Bullit intake(around $1000) and if the difference is not that much get the bullit intake.. you may only gain 5-10 HP but you will get a better quality part.. Just my opinion... good luck

Stock PI Intake manifold can be had, new, for $180.... A LOT less than the bullitt intake manifold.
