I bought this manifold for my 2000 Mustang GT, because the original manifold was leaking coolant around the thermostat housing and it had started running into the spark plug wells, which of course was causing misfires. Overall, the Dorman manifold seems to be of pretty good quality, especially for the price. However, I have a couple of issues with it. First, the universal alternator bracket that comes with it does not fit well on a Mustang GT. There is a large plate that interferes with several of the hoses that stretch across the engine. Second, the holes for the screws that secure the coils over the spark plugs are plastic and are not threaded. The original manifold had threaded metal holes. The "installation instructions" were vague at best, so be sure to have another source to assist in the installation, like a Haynes manual.
Now that I have the manifold installed and new spark plugs, the car is running fine and I have not seen any more leaking.Get more detail about Dorman OE Solutions Intake Manifold 615-175.
