PLASTIC intake manifold!!! S*it! Everything is cheap now! PLASTIC!!! That's the first time I've heard about that.

It ain't just Fords that have plastic manifolds, many other companies use them too, Toyota for one.. Saturn, etc.

The reason all manufactures use all the lightweight materials they can is CAFE and some times the cost is higher, not lower. The reason they can use plastics in manifolds today is there is no fuel in the manifold of a modern MEFI engine, only air.
