Default A little better Intake Manifold?

Hey everyone, I found out that I need to replace the Intake Manifold on a stock 99 GT. (I read the recall stuff, but it appears I am out of luck.) Since I have to lay out some coin to fix, does anyone have any suggestions on a possible upgrade? I don't do any racing etc, so it would be mainly for possible fuel or small performance gains. I got a price on a Dorman and seems that would be the replacement. Does anyone have any thoughts on that brand?
Thanks much for the help!

Thanks for the replies. Seems the Ford Intake is $850, so it may just be as well to go with something a little better. Sigh...

I just read something on the trickflow... and they only gained a couple horsepower. They said you really need to have ported heads to take advantage of it.

Unless you are F/I of some sort, no need to upgrade the intake, our PI intake is fine

Check out Brother's Performance. I just got a package deal with a Typhoon Intake manifold, 75mm T/B and plenum for a little over 700 bucks. Do a search on Professional Products.
