NEW Ford Performance 4.6L 2V PI Intake Manifold (M-9424-P46A) - Dyno Runs & A Closer Look

[@gregd829]

It’s awesome that Ford stepped up and started making these. You can search for NOS originals but they don’t exist anywhere. I have a 99 GT with its original plastic crossover and I dreaded having to put a Dorman on it.

[@Karston_]

Going to start hoarding good condition used original PI intake manifolds 😂

[@MrDbaggins]

My 66 Mustang has an original pi intake on it. Been waiting for it to start leaking coolant. What’s the max boost number I wonder?

[@302hobronco]

@Karston_ I've replaced 100s of these intakes on crown vics over the years. If only I knew they would be worth keeping.

[@PAA738]

So happy that I found an old PI intake used back in June.

[@MustangFord]

At least there's options now, and cant beat Ford OEM quality. This is the new standard for 2Vs.

[@andy_182]

Surprised no one can manufacture a superior manifold

[@NewEdgeDesigns]

It’s trash!! You can clearly see the design is quite close to the old Dorman crab, I don’t understand what the issue is with making the OG..

[@MustangFord]

@@NewEdgeDesigns The issue is with the rights holder. Ford partnered with a company, and that company owns the rights to the design of the original PI intake. So Ford partnered with Dorman to release this version that is MUCH higher quality and it has upgrades. Like the metal tube that goes to the heater core in the back. It used to be plastic, now its metal. They also upgraded the aluminum crossover in the front, its is now ALL aluminum down to where it mates with the engine. Before there was plastic underneath the aluminum crossover on the drivers side, where the thermostat goes. They also upgraded the plastic material, its much more better quality than the material used on the original PI. It also doesnt need gaskets because they are integrated. Its Ford quality that is UNMATCHED by any other brand out there. The design might affect horsepower by a tiny amount, but you have 4.6 that was released in 1993, so be happy or go find a used old P.I intake. If you want to go racing, get a better engine or a different car. ITS OLD NOW. The choice is yours. Its almost unheard of that a car company like Ford releases parts after DECADES later.

[@NewEdgeDesigns]

@@MustangFord I hear ya, still disappointing nonetheless.. I would just buy a bullitt intake off of EBay, or get a PI intake at the junkyard if mine ever has issues that can’t be repaired..

[@sategllib2191]

Damn how'd they make it worse. Good video though, good transparency and showing the testing on the parts you sell

[@lealandyoung]

Bummer, was hoping the intake would outpower the original PI intake, especially since Ford has the boilerplate "Off-Road Use Only" on the intake's FRPP page.

[@dalelockett2619]

IMHO.......the only thing that needs to be understood by the phrase "Off Road Use Only" is that this Ford replacement OEM PI intake manifold wasn't independently tested to certify compliance w\ the EPA Federal OEM emissions certification stds of the MY 4.6L 2V engines from 1999 thru 2004 & nothing else..........has nothing to do w\ any rated engine HP\TQ outputs based solely on this intake manifold's plenum & runner design. The truth is that this is more related to the cyl head's port velocity\volume design than the IM..........FWIW.

[@rollonthis]

I literally found the last OEM Ford Pi intake from the Ford Dealership here in Texas the day before this was announced … I drove 3 hours to get it

[@davidduker4441]

I'm sitting on quite a few intakes that I've used for my PI swapped 98 GT, including a rare HPS Hardballer and original FRPP SVO w/the matching SVO heads. That difference in performance and quality vary more than most realize. The coolant port towards the back has broken on at least 2 of my OE PI intakes. Personally I found this VERY interesting! I'm also glad Ford continues to offer new parts for their heritage vehicles. Great video I appreciate and enjoyed it very much!

[@davidduker4441]

I also had many issues with the Dorman product, it can work but is IMHO the worst choice

[@MustangFord]

@@davidduker4441 It looks like the coolant port for this new one is a two piece design and apparently the coolant port for this new intake is made out of metal. Also the thermostat housing is metal all the way through to the bottom where it meets the heads, where the original P.I intake and the Dorman are plastic underneath. A nice upgrade in that aspect for sure.

[@E4drht]

This was expected. Better than the dorman. And, really, except for the power loss, better than the oem pi intake in reliability with the improved crossover and the heater port. It is what it is.

[@NightmareKato]

And the loss in HP is really negligible. 10HP isn't even a big deal. 50 is.

Thank you for posting this video. It's good to see numbers on the new hardware plus a comp with the older stuff.

[@michaellehmann2803]

Obviously selling this as a “Ford Performance” part is misleading, bordering on fraud, but one thing I see in the video that makes me happy is that the aluminum crossover FINALLY seals directly to the heads! Since almost every PI manifold fails where the plastic manifold and aluminum crossover meet, this new design should mean never having to replace the manifold again! I still wouldn’t use it on a car where performance is a concern, but for the countless panther cars and daily driver SN95s, it could be a decent option.

[@latemodelrestoration]

The old OEM PI intake was also sold under the Ford Performance brand. Like the new intake, the old intake was the "service part" of it's day. Ford Performance sells other OEM service parts under their brand because it's easier to market. They've been doing this since the early days. Thanks. -Landan

[@OldeCarrGuy]

Some folks will shop price, others quality. My bet is the new PI intake is quite a bit higher than the Dorman which may put it out of reach, but definitely a viable alternative by the looks of this data! Thank you LMR and Ford Performance!

I suspect that the differences between the manifolds would become more apparent when tested on 4.6 2v that has additional modifications and requires more airflow.

[@LOCOLAPTOP]

I wonder how bad it would be on my engine with trickflow heads, stage 1 cams and stainless works complete exhaust system on my crown vic

[@tgc281]

The ports look large but that could just be the new geometry making it look that way. The runners also look shorter. If those things are true maybe this intake has a chance with more supporting mods and higher rpm

@neilbrown82 they've already posted a picture of a side by side, only difference is dorman has an opening where the runners go into the valley but on the newer updated one it seems like they just enclosed the entire underpart

[@NightmareKato]

@@neilbrown82 Honestly, it seems more like the new intake is going to have more reliability over the Dorman intake (and older PI intakes). Reliability at the expense of a small loss in horsepower isn't bad in my book.

[@RobPiazza-r2t]

We’ve had very good luck with Dorman intakes in crown Vic’s. Definitely notice the torque coming on earlier which overall makes those boats quicker especially with 3.27 rear gear. And through hp tuners optimizing timing, fueling, etc we are still making good steam at 6000 rpm where we usually shift them out. 6200 on at the chip. Have never had any on a dyno but definitely works fantastic and super fun on the street as a daily!

[@mercedes-amgforlife3237]

I bought several Crown Victoria PI intakes brand new. They are currently out of stock, so this intake will suffice. I do love the crossover bolting directly to the heads, which means no more rotten plastic to fail. I'm currently in the market for another one, and this is the one I'll get.

It’s ridiculous and truly disappointing

@@NewEdgeDesigns agreed 👍

@@marine0331inf There are off brand OG PI intakes on EBay, I actually have one on this Sonic Blue GT that I’m flipping, but it’s not on the road so I can’t really test it.. I wonder if these EBay intakes are the best option??

Almost spit my drink out when you said we’re talking about 9-10 hp on a 2 valve mustang making under 300 whp 😂 you’re right. Who cares

[@Ensource]

that is true, but when you want all you can get from a slow, stock engine without spending like 6 thousand to make it actually start to wake up…

[@DrBeef216]

Plenty of people, since there's still a big market for the mod motor bolt-ons. I always love when r*t*rds like you play yourselves when you *think* you're being a hotshot 😆 🤣

Those who care about losing 9-10 hp on a 2 valve mustang making under 300 whp 😂you're wrong. They care.

I think the point here with the 10hp is that it confirms it’s not a copy of the dorman and it’s a quality built part that won’t lose you hp

[@BigCountry-df9rj]

@@gregd829but it does lose over 10hp against a stock PI intake 😂

My man is tripping over himself trying not to say anything bad about the mid new intake.
