Has anyone tested whether an 18 intake manifold can be upgraded to a cobra jet or if an 18 intake manifold can be installed on a 15-17. I haven’t seen enough detailed pictures to form an opinion on whether this would work considering g all the changes on the 18 engine bay.

I honestly can't see a cobra jet or boss IM fitting with the stock hood. Other than that they should work. No idea if the IM is different than the last gen. I really thought that they would have went with the GT350 mani, but apparently not.

Has it been determined if the '18 intake manifold is the same as the 15-17 or is it a newer "stock" version, orrr is it a GT350?

Following. Some parts are definitely different (purge valve is off engine on driver's side, etc.) but that can be resolved with connectors, adapters, etc if new intake is really <$400. This looks to be similar in height to the GT350 intake manifold....

I agree. The runners do look shorter than the gen 2 intake.

Jon Lund made a comment on FB to me that he believes it's between at GT350 and the 15-17 intake. Looking forward to seeing if it's a direct fit and what can be done with it. I'm sure Ford went this way for a reason. GT350 could have been an easy path.
