Is anybody doing any group purchases on aftermarket intakes? $700 off effectively would be *really* nice for a new bullitt intake or something. Mine is cracked in 2 spots and needs to be replaced.



For those that haven't gotten their notice in the mail yet:
http://www.fordmanifoldsettlement.com/index.html

Ford is about to lose a major class action lawsuit, which to us means we can:
A) Get a brand new intake with aluminum crossover installed by a dealer for free
B) Be reimbursed (Up to $735 I think) for having it replaced.

This is the intake with the aluminum crossover, the old one (like the one on your 2000 GT mat82284) will be all black...

my friend has a 98GT. Does that mean he will get a PI intake or the Cash since Ford never made a NPI intake with aluminum crossover. Also I think his coolant crossover is cracked as we speak, because his intake is leaking coolant.

looks like a lot of bad information is being thrown out there so i'll try to clear some of it up:

-ford does sell npi intakes w/ the aluminum crossover and so do several aftermarket companies. if you take your car to a dealer to have the plastic intake replaced this is what they will replace it with if you have an npi motor.

-once the lawsuit is settled, you will have i think 90 days to get the repair verified by a ford dealer. if they count pi intakes on npi motors as well i do not know.

-i'm not completely sure about how much ford will reimburse you, but i do know that the $735 price is if you have no receipts for repairs.
