[?] '18 Intake Manifold on '15-'17

I pulled the trigger and ordered the 18' manifold and pigtails from my local ford dealer. I'll be happy to do a write up of the install process and might even make a video of the install and comparison of the two manifold's and the associated IMRC and evap differences.

I also have a base line dyno run before tune and manifold and plan to dyno afterwards. I'll post of those results as well. The gains should look a little more dramatic though because my car was pulling a little timing during the first run due to false knock from my exhaust. I think that probably cost me about 8-10 hp so we'll see.

That would be amazing! I, like many others modders it seems, appear to have an irrational fear of cutting wires on a $35,000 ECU computer controlled engine without being absolutely certain they are doing the right thing. Want to flame me for that, go right ahead. Thanks again.

Ordered mine from a local dealer. I just found out it’s backordered though so I guess I’m looking at a couple weeks.

Well I'm clearly retarded then because all I can find is vague answers on how the hoses are routed and what needs to be done with the wiring. Some guys have said they had to splice and then some others say it is plug and play :headbonk:

my 1st divorce sure did. :doh: I had to trade in my 2004 GT because she let her now husband drive it while I was deployed to the Middle East for a year. I couldn't look at the car anymore. It had VT Stage II cams, TFS Intake Manifold, 75MM TB, JLT cold air, BBK LT's, offy x pipe, Spintech mufflers, 1.5 lowered, 4.10 gears, custom tune, 315/35 Nittos in rear. Before I deployed had 8 inch silver racing stripes painted on(black car).
