Okay, so, I was thinking about swapping over a composite intake setup from a 96-97 onto my 95...I know it doesn't flow much better than what I have now, but the intake tube setup is way better than the 94-95 setup my car has. Is it worth it, or should I Just take all the top end stuff off and get a PI intake...is a PI composite intake worth it with NPI heads?

thanks

If your going to convert go PI, they arent any more expensive and make the work worth while.

Don't quote me on this but plan on getting yourself a new throttle cable and Cruise cable from the 96-97 cause the 95's will not work. That's why my 95 still has the 95 intake even though it is a motor from a '96.

The cruise cable can be adjusted to work, the 96/7 one will not work at all.

You need the throttle cable, elbow, tb, fuel lines/rails, iac, egr, egr tube, relocation of the egr vacuum regulator and some lines and hoses.

i just did mine this weekend what a difference, deffinatly worth it, i found some things they don't tell you in all the threads, you need a new radiator hose, t-stat houseing points to the right , and you need a new iac valve and the plug end off a 96-97 because it different from 95,

how do you adjust the cable i got it disconnected for now

Theres a little clip you can pull from the cable and will self adjust when its hooked up, then just put the clip back.

I also had to modify the bracket a bit because the cable mounts upside down from where the 96/7 ones sit. I had to use a nut and bolt to secure it.

Oh and if yout using 96/7 lines and rails the red piece at the end needs to be cut off for clearance.

The rad hose can be reused if your using the correct parts(and if its good), the mustang and tbird thermostat housing for the aluminum crossover intakes have it point towards the passenger side.

i'll try that tomarow, i already cut the red tip off, when i put the cruise cable on it left the trottle half way open,
