I have a friend that wants to know if you can use this setup on his bolt on/naturally aspirated 03 GT. I told him I wouldn't do it it looks like its made for cammed or blown Mustangs. He said he wants it more for looks than for power. He just thought it looked cool anyone to know if it would work well with this car. So I told him I would ask the guys from ME. What do you think?


Here it is I n AM if anyone wants to see.

I personally have this intake on my 04. I also have 18-20lbs of boost being shoved thru a 6061 elbow. I have fully built teksid block and stage 2 cams. An NA car with no mods will choke and loose a lot of torque. I would recommend an Accufab upper plenum and throttle body if he wants bling and functionality.

If he puts it on he's going to hate it. On a bolt on GT that intake will lose a ton of low end and not pick up much if anything up top. The PI intake is a proven winner and there really isn't a better offering until you get to bigger cubes or a blown application. If he wants it to look better he can upgrade the plenum and do some other stuff. He'll also need more than just the intake like the elbow and fuel rails. Not smart, not smart at all on his part honestly.

They are completely not worth it. I see ppl spending $1k to get a bullitt setup on their car and laugh. $1k for 5wtq and an added 30-40lbs to the nose of your car. Have fun. The TFS intake isn't worth it either. IMO, stay PI until you hit the 16+lb boost mark and not because of flow issues, I just would not trust a plastic intake after that. I've seen ppl run like 24lbs no problem and make upwards of 700whp though all through the stock plastic intake though. I am personally going tork tech with a ported M112 so no intake issues for me...

Eh, I we can have anything we want on the cars here in NJ as long as it passes the sniffer. However if its OBDII they just plug into the computer to make sure there are no emissions codes and call it good which is one reason I now have a modular.

Lol and the wife wants me to try to put in for orders to California... I think being military I can stay NJ registered/inspected though...

There really is 0 reason to delete the EGR unless you just want to get rid of all the junk under the hood. And nobody ever wants to pay for the tune to properly turn it off either lol.

To adress both of the isues that have come up in this thread,...I ran a Victor Jr on my 2v for a total of 12k miles in one year,..all w/ a carburetor and the PCV system converted over to breathers on the valve covers. The car managed 23+ MPG at 73 mph on the I state going to Mustang week,...and several of the other day trips I took so I can't imagine that the intake killed off too much torque.

Warning,...this is a carb'd picture,...so if it is gonna bother you,...avert your eyes.
