[QUOTE="djtech, post: 421186, member: 8442"] Damn that is a bunch of crap!! I wouldn't take no for an answer, it isn't fair you should suffer because the original/previous owner didn't have it done in time. Anyways, just changing your intake won't be as good as the fixes Ford did. I've heard many rumors about the actual issue that caused the lower HP numbers. Some say the heads on the 99 didn't flow well so they did other things to make up for it (can't replace heads on all our cars, costs too much). Others have said that the exhaust was pinched too much causing a restriction. As you know the final reason was that the intakes had passages that had slag in the way. My car had the recall done before I bought it. I know for a fact they reflashed the computer because it has a sticker saying it was reprogrammed. They also did something with the intake (I have the green dot = acid dipped), not sure if they did anything with the exhaust but I replaced it with a Borla anyway. Hope that helps... [/QUOTE]
