Aluminum Professional Products Typhoon intake installed on a P71 Crown Vic

[@DudweeDuhReeRee]

love the the tapped bolts... dont hate em. Thats history. imagine all the excited high school kids whos passed it down ready to show off to their friends. all the memories passed down from one single car part.

Don't apologize for cursing. Mechanic work will definitely take you there 😂

Thanks for posting this!

Great video, appreciated

No more cracks

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

None!

[@user-ex2qn4ds5v]

If you ever sell that manifold ill buy it.

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

Sadly I no longer have the manifold. I got a great deal on some very hard to find parts and part of the deal was the manifold. It ran flawlessly for the year it was installed. I’d highly recommend one.

[@user-ex2qn4ds5v]

@@DirtyDanMunicipalMan damn that's okay thank you for telling me. I get that though some parts are hard to find.

[@mr.louweeziana122]

Nice install! Any one you possibly know of might have 1 forsale

I got mine on eBay. They pop up every now and again for a wide range of prices

[@joshuamcpeek4708]

How did you seal it all up? Are there gaskets you can buy? Or do I need to use RTV

[@logancurtis7773]

Did you have any fitment issues? Im putting one on my 07 p71 and it seems that a couple bolt holes are a little off. Along with that it seems to be touching the 2 tall 'bosses' in the valley. I can figure the bolt hole issues with some dremel work, that doesnt bother me. Main issue is the 2 tall things in the valley.

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

I definitely had to tap and re-thread a few holes, but everything lined up with the exception of one bolt on the back of the intake Plenum. It installed like OEM other than that.

[@kamijoon4788]

How much did it cost you and where did you get it? I really like one

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

@@kamijoon4788 I bought that intake in 2021 and paid $650 for it. I haven’t seen one of these for that cheap since. They’re really only available used.

[@al-mubdizahir8704]

send us a link to the intake. i have to replace the plastic one on my 05 p71

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

I wish I could. This intake is not made anymore, and hasn't been made in years. I purchased the intake used and refinished it for my vehicle.

[@Nethter]

Any update on fuel consumption and performance?

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

No difference in fuel consumption and car seemed to have a bit better midrange power

[@camerongallagher8610]

Taking a stab in the dark here but do you think the typhoon would bolt onto a 2013 E150 4.6? Can’t find a oem one anywhere and can weld the back coolant hose area on the typhoon. Just wondering if anyone has some knowledge on swaps with van 4.6’s

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

I think the vans use the truck intake manifold. If that’s the case you can just get a nice used aluminum factory intake and call it a day. Certain year trucks came with aluminum intakes from the factory I believe.

[@BRob1320]

Isn't a 2013 3v ??

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

@@BRob1320 Not in the Vans. The E series vans as far as I know never had the 3V engines. They has the 2V 4.6, 5.4 and 6.8 V10 until they stopped production.

[@kimmadison5504]

How much it cost I just put the cheap o in today I’ll get one never have to change again

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

Sadly these aren’t available new anymore and the only option is used. Prices range from $600-$1000 I’ve seen.

[@kimmadison5504]

@@DirtyDanMunicipalMan dame but do it hole up pretty good never change again write

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

@@kimmadison5504 Being these are fully aluminum, the will not crack like the plastic. gaskets might fail over time, by the intake itself never will.

[@sinsullivan69]

Do you think I could do the same with an Edelbrock intake manifold?

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

Edlebrock is very different. Not really a good choice for a stock engine as it’s a single plane intake. It also needs a special plenum or adapter to use the stock plenum in order to make it work. I believe it also needs different fuel rails too.

[@thomasstojanov2388]

Heyy I just put one on my mustang and I am having lean codes and there’s no vacuum leaks

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

Definitely double check for leaks or sealing issues. I’ve been daily driving my car everyday since this intake was put on with no issues at all.

[@SlikLizrd]

DIDJA FIND THE VACUUM LEAKS YET !??

[@dripfiendlarry9358]

Will this work in a 09 Grand Marquis?

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

Yes it’ll work, grand marquis and Crown Vics are the same thing practically.

[@DeluxeBrian]

why did you take the push bar off

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

Just doing an experiment. With higher gas prices I wanted to see if removing the pushbar and some other weight from the car would net me a few additional miles. I’m always messing with this car lol

[@SlikLizrd]

Probably because it looks stupid. It's NOT an appearance enhancement !!

[@SlikLizrd]

@@DirtyDanMunicipalMan Simple physics -- removing weight from a vehicle reduces it's fuel consumption. Most people don't know how to measure their fuel mileage accurately, so a simple weight reduction often goes un-noticed.

[@bradleymoney07]

Is this a smog legal part

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

I can’t see why it wouldn’t be. It won’t change your emissions in any way.

[@mr.louweeziana122]

There really expensive at the moment

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

Sadly they are. I had gotten a decent deal on this one.

[@BLACKEDOUTVIK]

How can I buy one of these?

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

Sadly they’re out of production, currently the only way is to get it used or get lucky and score one at a junkyard.

[@BRob1320]

99 truck intake??

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

This is a professional products typhoon intake, very different than the truck intake. Truck intake has much taller runners and won’t clear a car hood

[@BRob1320]

@@DirtyDanMunicipalMan so a 3" cowl and you get forward facing direct air flow, bonus MORE torque port the intake, change the cam specs to take advantage of extra low end torque but allow it to run out the backdoor 7k(+-). I'd even cut the intake open clean up all the casting open up them but not even a medium polish maybe allow the plenum to accept a 102mm tbody . See where you'd end up.. If I wasn't coyote swapping, that's the route I was thinking 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

@@BRob1320 truck intake is definitely good for low end torque, but you start losing power after 4k RPMs. You could definitely tune it to take advantage of that, but from research PI intakes are just better at make power then the long runner truck intake is. Richard Holdner has a great video about those intakes.

[@charliemoore4047]

I want one of these to get away from that plastic shit I have a 08 pi

That’s the precise reason I chose mine.

[@geraldrozen1797]

It's January 2025 . It's my understanding Professional Products no longer offers the typhoon intake.The only few I saw were on eBay used for $1500.😭👎

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

@@geraldrozen1797 yeah sadly the price on these has massively inflated. I didn’t pay even half that for mine. I paid about $600 for it and I thought I paid a lot

[@j-cpigeon5291]

Just bought one of these used for my 07 grand marquis. Do you have Instagram? I do quite a bit of performance mods on these so we could keep in touch👍🏻

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

Great work! I do have Insta but I’m not on it much. You can find me here tho. I’ve got some interesting plans coming up in the future for this car, gathering parts for a 5.4 swap. I’ll be documenting the process for sure!

[@j-cpigeon5291]

@@DirtyDanMunicipalMan nice! That’s gonna be a real torque monster! Not sure which way Im going yet, I started building mostly from the rear (Heinous control arms, 3.73’s, aluminum driveshaft with Metco driveshaft loop). I also have a True Trac diff sitting on the shelf with the Cobra 8.8 girdle but Im waiting on installing since I want to pull the entire rear axle housing to get it powder coated and get the Moser axles installed at the same time. Transmission Im looking to get my stock transmission rebuilt at Lentech in Richmond Hill ON (they specialize in building those 4 speed autos to handle high power #’s - can get a kit for around 2500$ to build the transmission to withstand 700hp, also they have a 900hp kit, etc). Likely go up to a 2200-2500 stall torque converter cause I still want to maintain drivability for cruising around. Like you, I plan on keeping the car all my life. It remains parked in a garage from October to late May and I only drive it when its sunny for probably 4-600kms per year. Engine wise rn I have a Marty tune for 87, 91 and 93 octane, stainless works catback with tailpipes, P71 airbox with a K&N filter and 80mm MAF, steeda underdrive pulleys, accel supercoils, C&L 80mm plenum (port matched and polished). 180° thermostat. And Im im the process of installing a 08 f150 5.4 75mm throttle body. Now Im still deciding whether Im going just mild cam and trick flow heads, possibly do new crank bearings, pistons and rods while Im there, or if Im doing that plus the adtr supercharger kit. Rn Im sitting at about 250 engine hp using the 30% factor (dynoed at 194 to the rear wheels). Goal is at least 300rwhp, but preferably about 450rwhp haha. Fun cars to drive though! Love them and easy enough to work on too. Especially compared to the modern day hunk of plastic with engine covers, etc lol…
