That intake is plastic. I can’t remember the exact one, either the 18+ or the gt350 is colored silver plastic.Upper intake looks aluminum, should be plastic?

When you put the car in drive, that gap is gone. I'm in that boat right now, passenger side header is rubbing causing vibration (only in drive).I saw that and thought it was pretty close, but I've read that pretty much all long tubes are going to have some tight clearances somewhere. Since I have no experience with LT's, I wasn't sure what to think about it when I saw how close it was
edit: I see the pic looks like it's right against it but there's actually a small gap there
Get those Quick Jacks ordered. Hands down the best automotive tool I have invested in.I haven't order my Quick Jacks yet but I need to so I can do this work.
That would be a big no from me. I can’t think of a reason that’s not indicative of a huge pain in the ass for buying a car and trading it four months later.Local dealer has a 2019 PP2 with resonator delete and long tube headers, so I'd assume it's tuned as well. Short throw shifter installed. Back tires are brand new and mismatched from the fronts so I'm assuming the car was ran hard...like all Mustangs are. I'm pretty sure the upper intake is aluminum...the engine cover was off. I don't think it was that silver plastic.
Not seriously interested in the car but it has me thinking. Not knowing who tuned it or how long the parts have been on the car, etc makes me leary...but then again, it's a bunch of money that I wouldn't have to spend to upgrade the car.
Thoughts? Car has 33k miles. 4 owners, the first one put 2100 miles on it and the last one bought the car in Jan of this year and already traded it.

I think the more important factor is how the car was broken in when new and how it was “driven”, I.e) not mashing the throttle before letting the car warm up. These are things you just don’t know when buying a used car.4 owners in that short time is a flag. However, not scared of it being tuned, can easily call the Tuner (which I've done).
Coyote's are tough, that's not a lot of mods. I would look for signs that it had more like a supercharger, turbo, fuel system, etc. and they just left these bolt on's on the car.
But if you call the Tuner they will tell you by VIN what they tuned for. If it just had these mods then that's fine.
This very thing is what's stopped me from headers and a tune.Having sold a car or two that were tuned that I got sick of for their various glitches and drivability niggles... how bout no, Scott!
Well put.It really sounds like there are two questions being asked here.
Would you/I buy "A" tuned car.
And
Would you/I buy "That" tuned car.
The answer to the first is, yes, quite possibly. Depending on the car, condition, price, history, circumstances, etc.
The answer to the second is almost certainly not.
