Black painted intake plenum

[jimharrell]

Just got a '22 GT. Took the engine cover off and was surprised to see the intake plenum is painted black...has anyone else noticed this? Is this just a black painted regular Coyote intake, or maybe they had extra Mach 1 intakes lying around?

It's molded resin plastic isn't it?

I think starting with 20 they were black. My gen3 manifold is also black, I searched high and low to ensure it was a real gen3 and I didn't get duped with something else... or get lucky and get a 350IM by mistake.

My tuner also confirmed the switch when I dropped it off

It's been black since 2021, I believe. There was a thread on this subject some time ago.
My 2020 is silver.
