What a bunch of horse crap! I bought the intake last year to install it in the Cougar (along with a pair of AFR heads)... Well this spring I had the bright idea to install it right away.
I take it out of the box and under the lower intake it reads "MADE IN CHINA" WHAT THE F-ING F***!!?! I was so pissed off, I mean I have to put some bullcrap chinese thing on my MUSTANG!
Anyway I got over the fact that I got ripped off at Ford Racing, they could at least charge the same price as a Performance Product intake since it was probably made by the same 12 year old chinese kid (or old chinese lady)! Anyway so I start to install it, and when I'm ready to torque down the upper intake (torque set at only 20lbs) one of the long bolts BUSTS in the intake!!!! WTF! The bolt twisted and broke, the metal looks like there was a lot of oxygen, not a very good bolt at all. The funny part is that once I remove the upper to start checking what to do about the bolt that's broken in the threads... I play with it and woops it starts to un-screw (it was even with the intake, but I put my finger on it with some pressure and un-screwed). So I took it out by HAND! Don't ask how it broke in there?!
I'm going to put this intake in the Mustang as soon as it's nice outside. I'll have the lower ported though and grind off the "made in china" emboss just for the sake of doing it. But I need to find some freaking bolts first, not sure where I can find these long bolts? I could just get a thermacular spacer which I think comes with new bolts...
