Easy Bolt-On Power!
The BBK throttle intake is the perfect way to add horsepower & torque to your 1996-2004 Ford Mustang GT. BBK's patented Mustang throttle intake incorporates a high flow upper plenum with a 78mm throttle body combined into one unit. This makes for a perfectly smooth transition and saves you money over buying the intake plenum and throttle body separately.
Great for Boosted or Naturally Aspirated Applications
Works great with high revving naturally aspirated vehicles and even better on forced induction applications. The average naturally aspirated vehicle will gain 10-12 horsepower and boosted applications typically pick up even more.
Made in USA
BBK Throttle Intake starts with a CNC machined 356 aluminum casting to ensure a perfect fit on your 1996-2004 Mustang GT. Each throttle intake also features die stamped throttle linkages, double-sealed bearings and an O-ringed throttle shaft to provide smooth and reliable operation. This intake is proudly engineered and built in the USA!
Easy Installation
BBK's throttle body intake simply requires unbolting the stock unit and transferring a couple of sensors. The entire install can typically be done in 30 minutes or less and requires only basic hand tools.
