Longtime vistor 1st time poster .... I also work for a very large corp company(nothing to do with cars) who gives us B.S. to feed to the customers when they call about their issue's.
19COBRA93 is a very poor rep for Ford who has been an ass every chance he gets...That being said the intake is as poorly made just as 19COBRA93 was trained on how to represent his company...I personally wish 19COBRA93 would switch teams and be a goverment motors racing rep maybe Obama wants him he could be Obama's press rep for GM.

Why would ford invest all the time and development money on a intake that moves like that...hope the people that designed that don't work on the safety aspect of our cars....car gets hit by a yugo and folds in half...it was designed to flex... yeah whatever 19COBRA93 go work for GM

wait are you saying obama is full of shit? naah we all know obama knows everything....about nothing

You should of saved your first post when you can back up what you're saying. I can show you dozens of posts where this manifold has helped, and some here are still running the pre production one without issues.

Not saying there will never be a failure, but come back when you can back up your bs.

Even if it doesn't fail that's a very poor design. It was designed that way from what Mr. Ford rep is saying...if the flexing puts doubt into a customers mind and makes them think about buying a diff product then its a poor design..even if its functions just fine. Twist it how you want but several people on here have already said they won't buy one of these now. Thats just from word of mouth on here with registered people...how many people read these board without ever posting or saying anything?

Besides that I never said it didn't make more power I simply said was a poor design...function is a whole different aspect. So back up you bs and read again!!

Damn I thought I was by spraying a 125 shot of nitrous through the manifold on the stock bottom end.

1st time poster...Right. Just tell us what your other log in name is so you don't have to hide behind your little computer tough guy.

First, I'm not a rep for anyone, nice try. Second, I could give a fuck less about GM or the Government, so eat a dick and enjoy it. Also, according to you, you feed BS to your customers just as you're accusing me of doing. So then tell me smart guy, who do you want to be, the pot? Or the Kettle?

This intake has proven itself. Yes, so far. But "so far" it's doing what it's supposed to. Yep, it moves. Big fucking deal. It hasn't failed because of it, and if you or anyone else isn't comfortable with it, then feel free to look to any of the competitors intakes that may better fit your needs. It's that simple. You don't have to buy it.

Oh, and I'm truly sorry if my more optimistic attitude about this product makes me come across as an "ass" as you say.

If you truly are new, then welcome to the board, and maybe in your future posts you can be a more contributing member rather than just here to stir up shit.

Thanks for stopping by.

 

[07gt/csJax]

Not saying your intake doesn't produce just saying could have been designed to not flex if it was designed to flex..It would have eased alot of concerns that have been brought up by simply adding a little more plastic on the outside to make it stronger and stop the flex.
Sorry your threatened since I am a "tough guy"

Your more optimistic attitude about this product has nothing to do with you being an ass. You have a raw talent for that like very few in this world do, you should feel good about that. Most never discover their god given talents...So congrats to you!!

OK so has anyone sent FRPP a letter about this? Any response from them?

19cobra93 helped me out with my gt500 pump installs and I didnt buy anything off him. He doesn't gain shit from arguing with everyone over this.. he does it to help and inform. He is not selling anything or tying to scam people...

I too was worried about the manifold at first. Its like my baby coming out with a Fro.. a little shocking but until I see the mass blow ups I'm not going to worry about it..

So far it seems to be holding up and holy shit making power in some applications...


So until then......





ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzip it ...

PS> Tony kicks ass in tuning!

 

[jodadejss06gt]

Dude atleast if the manifold failed you could either get your money back or pay for a new one. On the other hand if your baby came out with a fro then i could see some in order and also some

 

[bullitt boy]

If the baby came out with a "fro" he would have been looking for big Jim Slade.

 

[lostsoul]

haha.. That would be cool.. no one would F with my family..

He flex's too! HAHA.. get it... flex's... ha ha ha... errrrrrr

Yes, they saw the video and their response is it's fine.

 

[Royski]

What made me return mine was the fact that there was no mention by Ford of this thing flexing until it was brought up to them. Then they say, "that is normal", I clal BS on that. To me if you see plastic flexing with the naked eye, then there is a problem. I really hope i'm wrong for those that are running theirs, but at the same time, hope Ford Racing fixes it since I love how the manifold looks on the car.

 

[jodadejss06gt]

Well thinking about it where it sucks inward during idle and vaccum, i'd think it would flex outward with positive pressure inside such as lightblades 15psi. I normally idle around 22 in hg which is about 10.8 psi. He said he didn't notice anything when his car was just on the dyno so we'll know soon enough. Even though I don't think FRPP meant it to do that, I don't think everyone should get too excited. Yes I admit I wouldn't want my stuff doing this, but I was considering getting one. I'll probably just run the DPs though. Until it fails we can't do anything other than look elseware or keep running the shit out of the ones that are out there.

It's...It's....It's ALIVE!!!!

I guess in a few months we will know whether or not FRPP was actually aware of or intended this intake to flex like this and be "normal". Eventually folks will probably be on here saying something along the lines of: "My FRPP intake doesn't move a bit..... (insert name here) must have a earlier verison", as FRPP slowly adds strength to keep these things from flexing like this without having to deal with the ones already produced and sold. It could hurt sales as some people (such as myself) will be staying away from this product because IMO, it just shows poor quality.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised to see this happen as well. Basically a "revised" intake that doesn't flex, but not exactly intended to replace the prior design (since we haven't seen any real problems from the one we have now). This really wouldn't surprise me.

 

[Chilliwack 42]

Would there be any concern of this intake cracking when it flexes at a very cold temperature? I waited a long time for this intake to come out. Whether normal or not I'll be waiting a while to pick one of these up and I can totally understand why others would be hesitant as well.
