2024 Ford Mustang Intake Manifolds

The S650 Mustang is full of great changes and improvements from the previous S550 generation. From new and improved body lines to a completely new Generation 4 Coyote engine, the 7th Gen Mustang is sure to be another flagship Mustang for Ford.

Speaking of the Gen 4 Coyote, we got our hands on a factory 2024 Mustang intake manifold and wanted to compare it to a 2018 Mustang intake manifold, found on the Gen 3 Coyote engine. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this intake different.

The Second Throttle Body

The most obvious, and most exciting part of the new Gen 4 Coyote intake manifold is the dual throttle body setup. Each factory intake manifold on previous Coyote engines has featured single-blade throttle body setups. The only time we have seen something remotely similar on Mustangs was the 4.6L Cobra, Mach 1, Bullitt, and 07-14 GT500s where Ford utilized a twin blade throttle body in a single housing.

The addition of a second 80mm throttle body, according to Ford, helps provide increased horsepower. Ford states, “A biased strategy toward on throttle body opening at low RPM and load 9for efficiency), but the two work together and sync up on the way to wide open throttle (to maximize power).

Is The 2024 Mustang GT Speed Density Or MAF?

With the addition of a second throttle body, you may be asking, is the 2024 Mustang using an MAF or is it speed density? By looking at the back of the intake manifold, you will find a MAP, Manifold Actual Pressure, sensor, which indicates that this is, in fact, a speed density setup.

IMRC Components & Physical Differences

We are excited to see what some of the big brands, such as Ford Performance, will offer in the form of 2024 Mustang aftermarket intake manifolds. As a popular mod for Coyote engines, the intake manifold has always been a dyno-proven modification.
