new intake
 

my car is a 99 gt. I bought a new intake off of ebay brand new. took my intake off and set them next to each other. my stock intake sits like an inch taller than the new one- the height difference is all in the bottom part of the intake. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3D10%26ps%3D63
thats the link to the one i bought- however the picture on their is identical to my stock intake but the one i have been shipped is not that one in the picture! will it make a difference if it is shorter? powerloss?

Is there a reason you went with this knock off instead of the OEM from AM

With your member discount and free shipping, it would have been cheaper.

The difference in the height of the intake should not be a major problem. Does the new intake seem like its lighter because the material is thinner? if so I would send it back and get the OEM one.
Good Luck

totaly diddnt realize AM sold it, i paid 189 shipped to my door but that 5 dollar savings certainly isnt why i bought on ebay..i woulda rather give AM my business! doesnt seem lighter just seems shorter, im worried its not a real PI intake- im thinking its the one for a 96-98 stang non pi motor car.

for parts like these i would always go OEM...

we gave you all the info you needed but still went that route.

Good luck!

So...again, I ask....

We get a member discount?
Did I miss something when I joined this site?

we all get a forum discount...PM AM nick and ask about it.

sweet deal. Wish I had known that when I got my intake.
Sure ought to make things cheaper for my girlfriend and family when they order my chip for my bday/xmas. I may hear less bitching about the price. haha.

I asked this question when I called in my first order and was told NO. The discount is only if you belong to a car club. How true that is idk but I've spent a few hundred without any discount.

This is y I fucking hate ebay. Your just never sure what u order is what they'll send. I would also say send that shit back and order from AM
