For Ford Coyote engine owners, pushing the limits with a turbo or supercharger often leads to one major roadblock in the form of the intake manifold. While the lightweight composite units are great at balancing flow and not conducting heat, they aren’t built for crazy boost levels. Under serious boost, plastic intakes can become a point of failure, and many aftermarket options involve bonded parts that can separate over time.

After two years of intense development, SPE Motorsport delivered a solution in the form of its new carbon-fiber intake manifold, a ground-up solution designed to solve these problems for good. This isn’t just another cosmetic carbon-fiber intake piece for engine bays. Using patent-pending technology, SPE created a fully modular bolt-together system that is engineered, tested, and manufactured in the USA.

Instead of relying on epoxy or bonding agents, the manifold features precision-machined interfaces with O-ring seals, all secured with custom Torx-drive titanium hardware. This innovative design allows for intake disassembly for service, cleaning, or future upgrades.

Its construction begins with individual runners carved from billet aluminum on a five-axis CNC machine that are then bolted to a lightweight, carbon-fiber plenum. The result is a manifold that is both incredibly strong and exceptionally light. Weighing in at just 15.5 pounds, it is significantly lighter than similar options, which can weigh up to 27.5 pounds. This weight savings reduces the mass sitting on top of the engine, a welcome benefit for any performance build. The system is so robust that SPE backs it with a lifetime warranty.

What truly sets this manifold apart is its focus on handling extreme pressure. SPE Motorsport certifies it for an operating pressure of as much as 130 psi, while the burst panel integrated directly into the design acts as a final safety measure. It’s also highly versatile, fitting a wide range of vehicles from F-150s and Mustangs to Boss 302s and  GT350s.

With multiple throttle body options available, it can adapt to nearly any high-horsepower build. This isn’t an intake built for looks; it’s a foundational component engineered for enthusiasts who are serious about making massive, reliable power with their boosted Coyote engines.
