I know someone is running a Professional products intake in here, and I just ordered mine. Is it a good Intake, and are you having any problems? Thanks

I have it and the fit/finish of the materials is not great. Nothing a sanding roll can't address. And the vacuum line instructions I basically threw out.
this is what it looked like when I installed it on top of my TFS heads

I have it on my 94 GT.. The instructions are WORTHLESS, and the fit on my car SUCKS. I have a Ford Racing adapter on it, and my EGR DOES NOT WORK with that set up, the newest thing I have been told is I need to buy an Edlebrock one.. ![[Mad]](mad.gif)
Had to redo the gaskets a few times due to leaking and the bolts they gave me (the ones that go on the top of the intake) did not fit.
And the biggest regret I have is, it rubs like a bitch on my stock hood so now my polished finish looks like ass..
Overall a nice looking intake that was a pain in the ass to put on..

I noticed the bolt problem too. I swapped over to some hex heads from the hardware store for the plenum with threadlocker as they were put on like ass from the factory, and the bolts from the upper through the lower to the heads were not that great as well. Another trip to the hardware store.
I did not experience the EGR issue as my car is a fox. You know the SN-95 5.0 has a totally different EGR method right? It comes off your headers. Basically on the fox style intake you probably are best off blocking the EGR port in the lower intake with something like cured clay (can't think of anything better right now).
ah well, it doesn't suck that bad, just another little struggle from trying to save a buck or two. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)

Do you have any pics? And what combo do you have with the intake(heads)? And did you any difference in power, what size TB are you using?

Looks good to me, but I got the unpolished one.
