The New Edge Ford Mustang is quickly becoming a classic these days after having originally launched back in 1999. For some, that may be hard to believe, but it also means that finding parts for the New Edge Ford Mustang is going to get more difficult as time passes. However, interestingly enough, Ford apparently isn’t done churning out brand new parts for the New Edge by a long shot, as it just added another one to the Ford Performance catalog.
That part is a brand new 2001-2004 Ford Mustang GT intake manifold, which is listed in the Ford Performance catalog under part number M-9424-P46A and retails for $375. This production, composite intake manifold is the same exact piece used on the 2001-2004 Ford Mustang GT equipped with the SOHC, two-valve, naturally-aspirated 4.6L V8, too. However, it’s manufactured on brand new tooling, interestingly enough.
This new intake is designed to fit all 1999-2004 “Power Improvement (PI)” heads, but isn’t entirely street legal for all applications. According to Ford, it’s designed for off-road use only, in fact. However, it can also be used on 1996-1998 engines equipped with the PI heads, though a custom calibration is required, along with additional parts and modifications, including the intake manifold gasket set sold under part number 4C2Z-9439-CC, which can be purchased from any Ford dealer.
It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen New Edge Ford Mustang parts added to the Ford Performance catalog, but there are plenty of other recent additions for pony cars of different generations to note. That list includes a handful of cool retro car covers for various generations, not to mention a bevy of exhaust systems and other performance parts.
We’ll have more parts and accessories to share soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for more Ford Mustang news and ongoing Ford news coverage.

Interesting.🤔 However, I think I’ll stick with my stock intake on my DHG ’01 Bullitt.
That looks suspiciously like a Dorman intake manifold and the price is absurd should the performance be as such. I’m not saying it’s a rebranded Dorman, by any means. But I will say that it’s so reminiscent of a Dorman that due to the thumbnail of the article alone, before I read the title, I thought someone finally wrote an article about the Dorman. It’s known to lose power compared to the stock PI intake manifold. Depending on the engine configuration, I believe that’s anywhere from 10-20hp.
At least it’s got the metal rear coolant line spout, unlike the original plastic one that would crack when you tightened the hose clamp down….
Huh, this is totally left field. I wonder how the decision to produce the intake went down. I see somebody said the Dorman intake is inferior to the stock PI intake so maybe Ford decided to toss the 2v guys a bone?
It looks like the M-6010-BOSS50 5.0 cast iron Modular block is still available and with the popular 4.6 stroker kits and that block it’s possible to build a 5.3-liter 2v. Toss in a set of ported PI heads and it would be a nice engine provided the intake flows around 230-250 cfm or go full boogie with a set of Trick Flow heads and intake for something a little hotter.
I should add the intake runners look wider and I see its “off-road use only” on Ford’s website so that’s a sure bet the intake outflows the stock PI’s 190-200 cfm. While 2v performance is nothing to write home about it’s not terrible difficult to build a 400+ hp 2v and the SN95/New Edge cars aren’t particularly heavy, with this intake on the aforementioned 5.3 block a New Edge guy might be able to surprise a few people.
This is not a replacement for the 99 to 2004 Mustang GT PI intake. It is lower horsepower than those. Your original intakes what the f*** Ford
