^ Check here for a 92mm.. 
Texas Speed has a pretty damn good combo deal for the 102 and a TB of your choice.

Holy **** that price went up! You can get a 102 for less than that.........

I don't understand how nuts, bolts and angle bits makes
a fuel rail unreliable.
I didn't use the AN hardware I got with my intake because
I despise red and blue in the engine bay, I redid it all with
black AN fittings and ProClassic braid hose with a Y-block.
So I really did not look at the quality of them.
But again this has nothing to do with the rails per se, these
are accessories which may be poorly sourced or maybe just
offend your idea of how a fuel rail ought to mount, but to
me have no downside in fact.
The only "quality" thing I have heard is that if you overtighten
the threaded fittings you can split the rail at that point. Which
is roughly as true for one piece of cast aluminum as another.
I'm not sure the rails from Speed Inc are even the same ones
that come with the manifold, since the whole point of shippng
rails with the manifold was that stock ones somehow don't fit?
Could be wrong about that, but I recall something to that effect.

^ They shouldn't have advertise them as their "House Rails." Just put the PP logo on a separate section and sell them as PP rails. They can still mark them up the same, because they must be getting a bulk deal anyway as a distributor.
I was not happy with their rails at all so I wrote the intake off with it. They're supposed to be decent for mustangs tho. Saw a guy at a show who had one on his 4.6 and he was happy with it. I just found another brand to be of better, more reliable, quality with the strong performance backing.
And I hear ya on the no red/blue. I got tired of that just as quick.

There is nothing wrong with the rails, they dont split either. I used to work for the company....
Yes the hardware is cheesy but your not paying for expensive parts either, you have to keep the price in mind here.
Why the rails sometime don't seal well is from them not being tapped deep enough. Grab yourself a 1/2 pipe tap and run it down a little. It will take less than five minutes and they will seal perfect, forever. Use # 246 Locktite on the pipe thread fittings
