Please post pics, if you have them with detail on where to add RTV for a PI intake swap on NPI heads. I am using PI gaskets. Tried searching came up with not so helpful results. Thanks in advance! :santa_afro:

I mostly used that write-up to do mine...Caspers is also very good. I think I found just about everything I needed through that thread.

Mike, did you notice a difference with the intake swap alone? I know this is a touchy issue as to who feels a difference and who doesn't. Thanks.

Yes I definitely did...

It wasn't like strapping a blower on or anything, but the car had a noticeable difference from 4k-6k rpms.

My trap speed also went up 2mph which I thought was pretty substantial...

Thanks for the quick response bro. I have a line on an 04 GT intake for 20 bucks and for a couple hours of sweat, I think i'll try doing the swap.

yep! 20 bucks definitely would be worth it. You would have to get some other parts for it as well though. I got mine done in a weekend..would have been faster if I had all the parts to start with though.

If you got any questions feel free to ask...lots of people on here have done the swap with the RTV method.

edit: just saw your in you ad that you got the crossover already :santa_afro:
