2018 intake manifold swap.

[GregO]

What sort of extra parts did you purchase, and any chance you give a link to the manual ?

Shelby GT350 Brake Booster line (not necessary, I wanted the GT350 manifold brake booster routing to be plug n play just as on the Shelby)

First I'm hearing of the 18 manifold being a pain to install. It's simple enough where anyone who is capable of swapping an intake is definitely capable of doing it.

I put an 18 on my gen 2 and it was easily done with the aid of a short tutorial I found online. There are parts that are a little hokey and add a small amount of time to the install, but it isn't difficult


If you're interested in the power curves of different manifolds I linked some testing below for various manifolds on the coyote

I would recommend a tune for any intake swap.

The biggest issue with the 18 manifold on a gen 2 is the need for a tune.

I believe VMP used a gen 2 truck manifold. The gen 3 runs out a few hundred more RPM

Damn that truck mani looks fun!

I vote on an 18 manifold. Mine was basically free and the gen 3 truck manifold I have was actually free on craigslist. I locked mine out with zip ties so that was also free. I'd personally get a tune with any of the manifold swaps, so I wouldn't even count that

It is very fun. Just don't post it here you will get bashed.

There's at least 1 member on here that has mentioned they really like using the truck manifold. I could see where it would make sense for some people

I think VMP used the gen2 truck manifold. The gen 3 pulls out to 6800

It pairs well with the 6R80. The gen 3 truck manifold.

Do you know who it is? Also do you know if that chart has the IMRC lockouts installed for the hp and tq?

I have a truck mani in my garage, does anyone know if lund would do it, or what other tuner would be best to use with it? I have a lund ngauge and a sct x4 from vortech. Not sure if I should do lockouts again or not with the truck mani

You will have to ask, a few others did and Lund basically said FO.
