Is there any modification you have to do for the stock PI intake? Or does it fit right on top of the non PI heads?

I think there is a kit that you can buy for the swap.

Stock intake for a 99-04 mustang gt. I just did this swap for the saem reason. youll need some new gasgets, a new coolant pipe and a few other misc things. Go to modular depot and ask for randy, tell him what your doing, he ll get the parts for you.

What kinda $$ for the swap and what kinda hp gains are we talking?
I hear people say the heads are a waste and just do the intake swap and others say do both. How much of a difference is there in you 98 GT?I know the intakes are super easy to r&r we used to do them on a recall basis in 97 on all the 4.6's in cop cars, T.C. and Mustangs.

I felt a good differnce, im happy with the results. It pulls harder on the top end, even my friends i drive around with can feel a difference. Definitly worht it I got the intake new for 180 form american muscle, i think randy charges 80 for the parts and the adapter plates are 85 plus shipping. But for the price its definitly worth it.
