What engine is the intake manifold for? That would be important information to help assist you with a correct answer.

In order of torque curve making more low end to less low end:

stock 18 f150 manifold
stock 15-17 mustang GT manifold
stock 18 mustang GT manifold
GT350 manifold
Boss 302 manifold
Cobrajet manifold (aka ford racing)
Sounds like any 15-19 Coyote 5.0 intake manifold will fit, to include aftermarket.

hi, which route did u go on this intake? I have the exact same issue on my 2015, I found lots of 2018+ intakes online for under $200 and want to use that but not sure if its a bolt n go type swap.
thanks for reading

IMRC are different. You can buy a harness but voltages are different and I don’t think there’s any way around it except a tune which at that point you could have bought the correct OEM 15-17 mani and been done with it. Or lock out your broken mani and get a tune.

The “J” revision is supposed to be updated, “best” version. Price still hurts the same...
