Ted has not been with them for 6 weeks now. He said that the upgrades are still available but the wait is minimum 8-10 weeks. OUCH! I think that's the going wait time for the upgrade these days.

That's the whole point. For '06 (actually a running change in '05 - mine came with it) they switched from aluminum to Composite (plastic) intake manifold that "breathes" better. You can bolt it on (with new bolts) - just have to support the oil dipstick.
Many have swapped the aluminum for the composite.

I know alot of people change over for the gains. But I always hear tht it runs in the price of $100. This one actually says it's $57. Also says that's for upper and lower from what I can see. for that I'll get it next check.

Hi, I am a recent purchaser of a 2003 GT with 5 speed. I have an opportunity to add a plastic manifold but after doing some very exhaustive reading from the different sites and different threads, I am questioning whether or not it is worth doing. I am really interested in knowing if with the small injectors and stock computer there would be any relevant change in performance?
Thanks
Glenn

I have an '03 GT 5spd also. Yeah, we got stuck with the smaller injectors, but to change them you have to tear out the manifold anyway, so might as well replace the stock manifold with the plastic piece while you have it all apart. Might as well have your injectors, mani, and either the S1 or better yet the Diablosport predator so you can do a 1-2-3 punch all at once.

PTcrew has a mod bible and one poster has shown the install step by step.
