Not so sure about the P-51 intake
I just dropped $1600 for a P-51 and valve covers from Fox Lake. Granted the intake did improve power (no dyno sheet yet). But aside from that it was a very bad experience. Their install instructions suck big time. You have to print them out yourself. They also claim that it fits under a stock hood. It does but it warps the hood on the passenger corner above the headlight. it also puts a mark on top of the intake and inlet tube. You would think that when buying a $1300 intake that you would get decent instructions with it. They also changed the oil fill neck to the drivers side so without looking at the bolt pattern I tried to install the the wrong valve cover. No do***ention whatsoever. If I had known that it was going to be like this I would have never bought from them. Their stuff looks nice and most likely does what it says but it sucks aside from that. Just so I am CLEAR, I am not knocking how their stuff works, I am upset about FALSE ADVERTISING. BOTTOM LINE is they should say that you should get a new hood but you can use the stock one if you dont mind a rub mark and they SHOULD say something about switching the oil filler neck so idiots like me know whats going on from the get go.
Talked to Ron at Fox Lake and he said people are cutting holes in thier hood to make it fit and that it is not his problem it is Fords problem because there can be .5" difference in how high the engine mounts. Instead of trying to help he hung up on me. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

What I said is backing him up to inform the public of bad advertisement. You for some reason dont want foxlake to get a bad rap. You got some deal with them? Look, if their product doesnt do EXACTLY as advertised, he has every right to tell us and anyone else. Its called helping your fellow stangers out and letting them know that it may not fit. I for 1 appreciate this info, and I would be mad as heck too. Spend $1300 on something, it ought to fit PERFECTLY with no issues. Then to have the owner hang up...thats BAD buisness, that is no way to run a CO., the customer is always right and you do whatever is in your power to make them happy. After hearing how they treated him, no matter how rude, then just say its fords problem. I also WILL NOT be dealing with them. Customer service is just about as important as the product. JLT and MPH are prime examples of how you SHOULD run a buisness. The owners of those places actually care about the individual buyers.
