[@DerekBaranProductions]

This video is insanely good

[@vitoaugello1677]

This precisely what my local tuner told me. If you're racing then go with a GT350 or 18 intake because all your gains are on the top end. If you're just street cruising and occasional street racing then the stock intake has better low end torque, but runs out at 6500rpm. Wondering how the complete Borla 8 stack set up fares. Expensive yes, but looks amazing.

[@mick76]

I like to see what a ported truck manifold would do. I spend more time in the mid range. So that extra torque would be nice!

Great job. What did it do with the stock 2017 intake manifold? It would be interesting to see how much difference the other six manifolds made. Really impressed with the torque of the truck intake manifold. I'd be interested to see what a ported 2018 truck manifold would do.

Yes. I been told to put a 2018 GT ported intake on my procharged 2013 F150. Now the question to get a truck manifold or the mustang manifold after seeing this test. Unless someone has a better idea because its boosted? I also been told in order to get the manifold to fit, I will need to purchase a 2018 mustang thermostat housing. Not sure if its the same issue with install on the 11-14 mustang.

[@Greatest_Scott]

​@@VMPPerformanceTV on a stock engine Gen 1 is the intake manifold worth it ?

[@midnight347]

​@@Greatest_Scottabsolutely but the more stock it is the less worth it it's gonna be. Meaning you are bone stock everywhere it won't help as much obviously but if you have a cold air and headers and a good tune it is absolutely worth it. With cams even more so. The more supporting mods the more worth it it's gonna be but to answer your question yes its a significant performance gain ecsp on gen 1 and 2 cars

[@Greatest_Scott]

@@midnight347 thanks bud. I don't think I'd ever do cams because I like the drivability of the VCT and I heard cams disable that, but LTH would be good. My airaid intake is compatible with the CJ IM, but I think I want a closed box unit if I can find one. Otherwise maybe I can make a cover for mine

[@tomcronininc]

Thank you so much for the test! 2018' Bret Barber intake has more HP than the Cobra Jet and more torque than any save the truck intake and it's so cheap. Makes deciding super easy.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

Thanks Busa_rdr!

[@scottkayrouz236]

I’d say the outcome of the testing is either keep it stock and just shift at 6.6k rpm or waist money to pull an extra 1k rpm with no real hp improvements and potential catastrophic results attempting to get so much way upstairs like that. I love your dyno setup!! Awesome scientific testing done and thank you for that. Not quite the results most would expect but definitely worth the effort.

[@writeupking]

Yea , unfortunately you extra wrong. People have picked up not only hp gains but tenths off their quarter miles with the 2018 intake because they carry the power out further before shifting . In the next gear the rpms are higher than if they had shifted earlier , helping them stay in the usable power band . I'm going 2018 ported intake , you can run the stock manifold and get gapped if you like 😂

[@FranMonajGuitar]

Topically a stock 2017 gt makes 380 on the dyno. I believe it is a huge gain to 460 hp

[@scottsmith31]

Jesus PLEASE more videos like this! This is what we want to see. I’m curious, was the truck mani a 2018 or a 15-17? I’d love to see a 15-17

[@a.wheeler7731]

With the truck manifold if you set it to shift at 6800 it would make about the same peak hp and more torque in the powerband in each gear I think.

[@midnight347]

You go try that and enjoy losing to guys with better manifolds lol. You will get drug in a roll race or any race.

[@dr3wster]

Such a great review/comparison video. Thanks for taking the time to produce this!

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@ShizawnSanders]

I have a 2013 5.0 and the truck manifold looks promising. Would like to know the difference in power through the curve of the truck manifold, stock 2015 manifold and stock 2011 manifold. They all drop off at 6500 but if you gained power everywhere else that would be a great bang for your buck. Many 1st gen Coyote owners dont want to rev past around 7000-7200K. Every single other manifold in this test would need to be revved to at least 7500 RPM or it would make the car slower vs the stock ones.

[@foxydiscdad]

Could you guys do a ported 11-14 intake manifold too? Just for shiggles 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@blackericdenice]

13:35 The Boss peaked at 7500 rpm because of the cams. Not the intake. Putting a Boss intake on a stock 2011 Mustang will not increase hp or change where the engine peaks.

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

The boss exhaust cam is 13mm lift vs 12mm lift, and for 15up, the cams are now 13mm lift too. Ford likes to roll the special technology from previous years into the new MY.

[@LearnSomethingHelpful]

Thanks for the clear viewpoint, great video

[@madmod]

All this info is pretty helpful for mod motor guys too. The 5.4 Navigator has the ability to use these manifolds and the 18+ manifold seems like the hot ticket.

[@madmod]

That truck manifold impressed me too. It made more peak horsepower than the boss 302 manifold and average more hp and tq up until 6500rpms. The boss 302 manifold is common on the 5.4 because it fits over the stock alternator location. Honestly, given that the 5.4 4v sbe is only safe to around 6500rpms, the truck manifold may be the best suited to the combo. Thanks for sharing all this!

[@VMPPerformanceTV]

How’s the 2018 f150 manifold compare I wonder. As the truck manifolds have a greater torque curve, maybe a ‘18 f150 manifold would be a good swap on Gen 1&2 f150’s Maybe a test on a ‘18 mustang VS ‘18 f150 manifold would be a good comparison.

[@bodyshotjake7475]

The truck intake is the best power curve for anyone swapping this motor into a car with any manual transmission other than a built T56 cobra spec or better transmission. You just can’t get older synchronization technology to shift much over 6500-6800 Also the older 5 speed transmissions have great gaps that are far larger than newer 6 speed transmissions. One question. Is the torque curve wave due to the variable valve timing?

[@srhatfield]

The other thing to think about with a manifold replacement is drivability. How smoothly does the car accelerate when not under WOT? The GT350 manifold was built for the voodoo motor and not for the coyote, so while it makes great HP and good TQ, the drivability is not as good as the 2018. That's why I went with the 2018, and I don't regret it for a second!

[@tommylee7749]

But with the gt350 manifold when running with a bigger throttle body and adding e85, it out runs that manifold. You need bigger injectors with the gt350 and you get more power after 6500 rpms from e85. It just gives you more power with all the add on's.

[@srhatfield]

@@tommylee7749 I have 1 E85 station within 50 miles and it runs out of it. I wish it were more readily available, but I can't use it. Hp is nice, but as I said in my original reply, drivability of the 2018 is tons better than the GT350 as well... so if you have to live with it on the street and not just WOT at the track, go with the 2018.
