intake manifold worth it?

[white98gt]

hey guys, quick question: lookin at getting a pi intake kit from custom mustang of south florida. suppossed to come with gaskets, o rings, coolant tube, etc. everything you need to put on npi heads. sells for 289.00 + 25 shipping. claims of 15-20 horses. anybody notice a real difference putting pi intake on npi heads? worth the time & money? thanks for your input.

Yes it's worth it. But do some searching, you can find these used for alot less.

i have found new pi intakes cheaper, but second sensor hole is pre tapped, comes with other coolant tube you need etc. figured it would cost more buying everything seperately.

It's up to you how much these parts and the labor is worth. It's definitely a worthy mod though :thumb:

+1 on the kit you're looking at. It's the same one I bought, def. worth it for the new parts they provide and the second sensor tapped already. I bought a new water pump and installed at the same time, $50 of cheap insurance and it's a 10 minute job.

is this just a pi intake or is it a bolt-on intake (no adaptor nor silicone)

guys at custom mustang said to still use the silicone trick...

He supplies you with Permatex Ultra Grey silicone and a diagram of where to lay the beads down. You'll like this upgrade- my GT revs freely and pulls to about 5700 RPM now, whereas it was winded after 5K before with the stock intake.

That's a good price for the kit and it looks like it's a real Ford PI intake? Not sure how they can purchase all the parts and make profit at that price. Take a look at at the dyno graph here and you can see what kind of increase you can get. http://www.blueovalchips.com/index.php?action=item&id=87&prevaction=category&previd=5&prevstart=12 This is my company car for trips and customers use it while I'm doing an install or dyno. I didn't spend a lot of time dialing it in all the way. Seems tuners never have time for their own vehicles...lol

when i did mine it went from like 17X rwhp on a mustang dyno and then after the intake it did 185 rwhp. gained like a couple tq up top. Not tuned though.
