Bullit Intake. How does it flow?
 

I've been looking at the Bullit Intake an a performance parts sight. They have it for 349$ dollars with throttle body and everything. That seems kinda cheap.

My question is, how does it flow compared to the intakes on 99+ GTs? I've never seen any flow bench comparisons. If you look at the intake on the Regular GTs they look restrictive as hell, theres probably some good horsepower to be made there in that department.

People say "well its obviuosly not that much better if the bullit only makes 10HP more." But that could be due to a small throttle body or the plastic air hose.

If it is the reason why the bullit has 10 extra ponies then I'd say it works pretty well, especially for a stock motor, add exhaust and a mass air meter and you'll have the big kinks out of the system.

BTW is it made out of plastic as well?

I thought that the bullit put out 270 HP at the REAR wheels, but I might be wrong

I believe the Bullit Intake is alunimum. could be wrong.

If it's aluminum, I'd say get it, I wouldn't trust that cheap plastic POS stock piece, heard of a few of them popping open on 96's, don't know if they ever improved the design or not.

Yup, 96-97GT's had cheap plastic intakes. Actually the 98's were plastic too but were strengthened somehow. Mine just blew last month but it was taken care of by Ford as a recall. The price seems right on the Bullitt intake if it's aluminum but I would be curious as to wait gains might be had. Or if it's even compatible with 96-98's.

It can only be used in tandem with the 99 style heads.

The price though seems to good to be true. Ford and Shawn Hyland offer intakes but they run well up into the 1300 dollars territory. And I thought the Bullitt intake was the Ford Motorsports aftermarket intake I've seen in there catalogs for a grand$$.

I figured it probably only worked with the newer heads but I plan on getting those eventually anyway. If the Bullitt intake is good, it's just another choice in a very dry aftermarket for parts. I'm sure we'll learn more about it as time goes on.

Yep, the intake on the BULLITT IS aluminum!

Looking at that price again, I'm wondering
if its hot, heck a bigger throttle body is like $180 by itself and the bullit hasn't been out long enough to be much of a supply of used parts, maybe there were some factory extras.

Heres the sight gefracing.com . Check it out. Its under BUllit Parts. I thought the price was really really low also. They have the Bullit and 2001 Rims in there for 124 dollars each. Sounds kinda low also.

I didn't know it was Gene Evans Ford. They advertise in the main mags so they are legitimate. I would order one of those immediately, it looks identical to the SVO manifold. The only thing may be that you'll have to buy the stuff to install it (throttle cable, etc...).

I wonder what the Bullit is going to officially have for power...

Thanks for the article, 96GTS, the only problem is that it shows the stock GT plastic manifold in the pictures even though it says it's aluminum in the text, must've been a pre-production piece for the photos.

The more I see about the Bullit, the more it angers me that they didn't make the entire production run of GT's like this http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/mad.gif

There is a pic of the engine from a linked page Bullit Mustang II.

Hmmm.... I was reading and looking, and I've decided the Bullit isn't as bad as what I thought.

Wow!
Something looks VERY familiar...

The above is my FRPP Intake. (You don't want to know what I paid for it...)
If you can get that intake for $349, run, do not walk to the telephone and order it before they regain their sanity.
