^Save yourself some money and just run a K&N filter....Unfortunately intakes don't do a damn thing for these cars. You aren't sounding ignorant man! Ask any questions that you've got. We aren't like those homos over at the gaymaro forums. You'll notice that we have a pretty tight group in here and will soon be addicted lol

I can believe that!! They figure out something that works and if you are not in their hiney hugging group they just beat you down when you ask a question!!!

Rob, he was asking about manifolds. Just get a PI intake manifold, which is the same intake that the 99-04 GT's came with. make sure the one you get though has an aluminum coolant crossover, as the earlier plastic models were prone to cracking.

Seems like everyone has you going in the right direction, so i really have nothing to say but Welcome! Yes we are a very tight nit group.

as for exhaust, I like everything lol But and off Road X pipe and Bassani would sound good. Mac catbacks sound really good too

If you really are on a budget I would go with flows and a O/R H pipe (if you can get away with it)...

My opinion...gears/tune/exhaust...then SAVE SAVE SAVE! Those mods alone will wake that car up enough for you i believe

It's a work in progress...trust me! Im just picking my car up after the forged motor/heads/offroad h install...and im PUMPED to see how it runs.

Good luck and you're in good hands here lol!
