Default Cobra intake manifold...get one?

I have a chance to get a used cobra intake to replace my stock one.....would it be worth it? I can get it for $225. Anybody tell me what you think of them please. BTW it is a ford racing one, not a factory cobra intake.

yeah, I'd say that's a good buy, considering I payed $550 brand new for mine...Is there a difference from orginal Cobra compared to the Ford Racing one?

they are a great street intake. my only concern is that you will outgrow it in a hurry. put a 347 together with a good cam and great heads with some rpm and the cobra intake will become to cork.

Then why do so many people run them, or better, how?
