An other thing I noticed, the charge motion valves doesn't have the valve shaft in the middle of the channel (?) anymore, so no benefit from a delete?
This is the intake manifold from a late 2009 model, so it is likely the 2010 intakeI thought 2010 had a different intake?
You are probably right. I didn't know that the 2010 had a Bullitt CAI.Pretty sure it's just the angle of the photo that makes it look like the shaft is out of the airflow when open. I don't think theres any functional difference between this later 1 piece manifold and the early one with the separate CMCV housings. The '09s with this manifold had the same HP rating as the '05-'08s and the power bump on the '10s was due to using the Bullitt CAI and tune.
As for the foam, I'm wondering if it's purpose is more sound deadening than heat insulation?
The Coyotes that had CMCVs got the shaft pretty much completely out of the airflow so Ford did learn eventually.
Yeah that looks like a 2010 one piece intake which has integrated motion charge valves.
I don’t think the intake is the same as Bullitt. Bullitt has an open element and the 2010 GT has a closed air box. As for the tuning… I have no idea if it’s different?
This picture is of a Ford OEM replacement IM that Ford had made later on to replace any of the 05-10 IM's. They used the 09-10 IM design to make this & Ford did offset the CMCV shafts towards the inner IM port walls to make more room in the IM runner porting to improve high RPM airflow performance while still providing the low RPM port velocity increase thru closing the CMCV's to promote better A\F & EGR mixing in the cylinders during the intake stroke. Ford also installed the plenum insulation to offset plenum heat soak to promote better air charge cooling.You are probably right. I didn't know that the 2010 had a Bullitt CAI.
Found a 2nd picture from the back. The insulation is up to the runner. Maybe it is heat and sound insulation?
If it is heat related, cyl 4/8 will get warmer air than 1/5, contact time air to intake is longer.
My car is in winter storage, otherwise I would try to measure the intake runner temps, ok, next year.....

Did you get all the mounting bolts w\ it? I mention this as the mounting bolts that fit that IM are a different length than those for a 05-08 OEM IM (09-10 OEM IM uses M6 x 50mm bolts vs 05-08 OEM IM uses M6 x 62.5mm bolts.........).......if your intention was to install it on your 05 Stang.All I know is that the intake is from a late 09 salvage car, according to the seller, so origin not clear.
But thank you for clarification!
Have not decided to buy it so far. I removed the valves on my OEM intake and car runs good with tune, but the fuel consumption is going up a bit. Fuel will pass 8$/gal next year (another tax increase) so I was looking for other options and found this for me unusual looking intake. I guess it needs changes in the tune too?Did you get all the mounting bolts w\ it?

My bad... rusty memory, I guess. Thought the '10s used the Bullitt intake but it looks like they actually shared an air box with the '11+ Coyote cars.

I'm driving 90% of the time <3000rpm, not sure if the fuel consumption will go down with the valves.
Thanks for the information about the bolts. They are not included.
If I understand you correctly:
1. This is not the OEM 09-10 intake
2. It was an Ford replacement intake with flow optimized valves (2010 style), heat shield
3. It needs shorter bolts
4. It needs re-calibrated fuel maps
Thanks!
True that.....................why I have 1 in my possession to retrofit into my '09 GT at some point in the future. All is a straightforward swap.......but the AC condenser line needs to be changed to the 2010 MY part to clear the area beside the DS of radiator for the snorkel to protrude thru, the PS reservoir engine mounting bracket is needed to move the PS reservoir to clear the CAI tube (or move the PS reservoir to the PS of radiator by the WW reservoir like you'd do for a centri FI install or convert the hydraulic PS rack to EPAS) & repin the existing MAF wires to fit in the 2010 MY CAI MAF extension harness connector.The oem airbox on the 2010 GT flows a lot more air than the 11-12 GT oem airbox....and both the 2010 and the 11-12 airbox's flow even more air with the K+N panel filter.
