    4.6L SOHC Intake Manifolds Suck

    that is the best deal for PI intake......Anyone that pays $600 for a PI intake is a moron....a girl I work with paid $400 at ford for one.....she didn't believe me that its the same damn thing..... I paid 75$ for my 99PI and if this one cracks I will probably take BOTH MY cracked intakes to...

    Intake

    or you can add a PI intake without the adapter plates like I and others have done..... waste of money to replace with a NONPI intake....do a search for the Intake swap and you will find lots of info :nice:

    Subframes Installed

    Most people find these to be more of a pain than providing any value......you have to remove them to work on your engine at all....and they don't help all that much... I say it's mostly cosmetic with a side effect of helping handling slightly....

    PI intake installed, problems?

    This isn't all true.... I have done the intake swap twice on my car without the adapter plates...I had problems with the seal the first time and was getting codes after driving a bit...my idle was sticking and would take a while to drop.... I took the intake off and reapplied it for a...

    Knock when starting?

    I just don't see how it could be my exahust....there is no way...I think it has something to do with the actual starter or something within the mechanism...not sure if there are any chains....or my timing chains :confused: having a little slack? maybe?? I dunno...I am not terribly worried about...

    X pipe question / cats or no cats ?

    Go CATLESS especially if you have no emissions testing.....you will get over the smell in no time...it's only really noticeable when you are stopped at a light with the windows down....and even then you don't always smell it...just depends on the winds.... but if your worried about torque I...

    Buying 97+ Mustang
