Neighbor did just the grill lights. It looks really really good, you keep all your factory panels/bumpers but get the distinctive Mach 1 addition.

I like to hope not! This thing is stock, low miles, oil changes at 2500-3000 miles. Time will tell!

Well I’ll be able to enjoy mine with their canned tune. Good info on the part numbers. I’m waiting on FRPP to get back to me with details. If they provide anything of value I’ll definitely share it with the community in case someone wants to keep it factory and have some piece of mind.

Are you also implying the harness extension and the GT350 manifold will work perfectly fine? No CEL/no tune to maintain my CA compliance? You guys are convincing me after the fact to maybe just try the GT350 manifold. I’ve got the PP3 on order now.

PP3 ordered! Buying once and crying one last time. Hoping the Coyote won’t bite the wallet again.

Of course, the superior design with a tune would definitely do that. I live in CA though so I’m pretty limited as far as staying CARB compliant goes. Any experience with different manifold IMRC actuating rod strength? That’s where I was going with that question.

I’m going to sit on this info and wait for Ford Performance’s thoughts. If they are sale driven at all they will give me clear examples of why the GT350 manifold should not break again. The PP3 has a ton of top end gains, but lacks gains down low. Did you experience a difference around town...

That’s good intel, too bad Gen 3s don’t hook up as easily.

They are comically cheap compared to the other options, a plug and play here for under $500 with whatever upgraded IMRC actuating rods the GT350 has is great.

It’s a solid move, I just need to guarantee it won’t trip the CEL. If I buy this and I am stuck with a CEL I’ll have to either force a return or be stuck with $800 in parts while still having to buy the PP3.

That’s a great possibility. I’m going to chew on that a little further. Do you know why the GT350 mani doesn’t trip CELs like the Gen 3 does? Is it runner length differences? Slight differences in sensors?

No worries, best of luck to you. Maybe your tuner could help you out as well.

I’d pull the plugs and take a gander at the gaps if this occurred with the change of them. Otherwise, fancy scan tools with live data from a professional could help you out. You could also pull the battery for 15 minutes and see what happens lol.

Any codes? Vacuum leaks, take a gander at air filter, verify fuel is correct, pull and look at plugs is where I’d start. If it occurs exclusively when your electric fan kicks on I may also suggest you look at your alternator. I’ve never been great at diag’ing that (electrical) stuff, but it...

If I had the liberty of doing so I’d be all in. No questions ask. I’m diy-ing everything so parts are my only expense here. However, I live in CA and I have to play by the rules. I’ve taken down the manifold and pulled the rod. A single steel square 3.5mm rod is failing in these cars and...

I’m following. That all makes sense. PP3 would be wonderful but I’m hesitant to spend more cash on this car than I need to. This is really going to come down to what Ford Performance shares with me. A fresh gen 2 manifold will be about $800 shipped, PP3 is close to $2,000 shipped. Your...

Won’t argue there. I can find new ones with the part number above but won’t do it if Ford can’t confirm that it’s been strengthened. GT350 and the PP3 feels like the way

Any intel for why? Besides flow, I know they are definitely superior. I’m just wanting to never do this again.

So I’ve witnessed. i can’t believe how shitty the construction is on these. I’ve got to keep it CARB friendly so the PP3 is the other feasible route. Picking ford performance’s brain about it vis email and will report back.

Super strange, the broken piece from my IMRC rod is magnetic which to my understanding means it can’t be aluminum. Have you heard that the GT350 rods are a little stronger? Is it a better alloy? Generally beefier? I’m not eager to buy a 15-17 replacement if nothing’s been revised. I see this...
