Default Aftermarket Intake for nPI Heads

I was wondering what companies out there make better intake manifolds for nPi heads. Which one is the best? I don't want a manifold for PI heads.
Thanks.

Not really sure anyone really even makes an intake manifold specifically for NPI, why dont you just do the PI intake swap.

I believe there is a Ford Racing intake manifold designed for the NPI heads. It is designed alot like the Bullit intake. Very pricey tho!

LOL for that price its a joke you could do a fullPI swap. I believe there is aPI intake on ebay that has adapter plates to fit NPI.

Virtually anything is useless for the 2v non-pi engines and for the most part on all 2v engines. If I were you, stay totally stock for bolt-ons and go with a supercharger or get a pi swap. An intercooled s/c would be best running 10-12psi is safe for the non-pi

This is my daily driver and I refuse to do anything that will compromise the reliablity. I don't want to use a PI intake because I don't trust RTV and I don't want to have to come back and fix something because I didn't just buy the right part the first time. I don't want to mess with the internals of the engine i.e. PI swap because something is bound to go wrong, and I don't want to have to fix it. And putting a supercharger on an engine with 120000 miles is just begging for something to go wrong. I just wanted to know if there were any companies that make an aftermarket intake for nPI heads so that the ports would match up properly. So does anyone know of any?

A PI swap doesnt touch the internals of the motor, your putting heads and the intake off a 99+ gt onto yours. If this is a high mileage DD and your worried about breaking stuff, why do you want an aftermarket intake in the first place, your probably better of staying with smaller stuff like exhaust, pullies, cai, etc.

i would just go to the junk yard and try and get one off a crashed 96-98 and leave the entire engine nPI... that seems like the option you really want
