Does the Dorman intake fit the 2003's?

According to their website it doesn't, according to their "tech" guy I spoke to on the phone it doesn't, but while researching the swap further on this site it is being advertised as if it will so I'm not sure. A few people with 03-05s mentioned they were going to go this route but I never read anything conclusive about it. The dorman website advertises it as for 2002 explorers only.

On the other side, does a mustang 2v intake fit?

Thanks guys

Yes. The mustang intake is rumored to be designed to higher rpm HP. But many state the explorer motor is an aluminum block mustang motor de-tuned to 240 hp.

what are the causes for having to change the intake? im taking mine apart this evening to do plenum gaskets

 

[Silverblade]

My reasoning for changing it is because it is leaking more than it would if it was just the gaskets.

Joe, when you say yes are you talking about the dorman or the mustang?

Ttt. Anyone?
