better throttle response lol...

did it make any effect on the sound of the motor?

 

not really

 

you can pick up PI intakes for $150 all day long.

 

I was driving around for quite a while on a cracked PI and when it actually finally gave way, and I got the new one, the sound kind of mellowed out, which is odd. It also started running better, but im sure you could have guessed that.

01GT4.6 - where can you get the PI intakes at that price? I had to pay $700 for mine from the dealership.

 

American Muscle carries them for a lot cheaper than $700. It is like $160 or somewhere around that.

 

ive been seeing these intake plus the pp plenum and tb for 599 in a couple of the ads in the MM&FF mags

 

SH**, I gues I really over paid then, I guess what they say is true, theres a sucker born every minute and those guys saw me coming from a mile away

 

Well what I said was that I needed it ASAP, THATS why I went with aluminum. The only two I could get a hold of THAT DAY was either from ford that quoted me at $350+ tax and Brotherperformance that was aluminum. So NO I couldnt have got it for $192 like americanmuscle offers.

 

do these manifolds just crap out randomly or is it related to high horsepower? I'm a little nervous that mine will start to **** coolant all over the place with my 259rwhp....

 

Usually its only the 1999 or 2000 years that I believe didn't have an aluminum coolant crossover. I believe there was a big lawsuit against ford, and if your manifold failed within 7 years of the purchase date, they either paid for a new one, or reimbursed(sp?) you up to $800
