Hrm... tough choice... use the Explorer lower intake manifold, or use the Cobra lower intake manifold. How is a man to choose?!

ok to be serious i guess we'll let you make the choice.

basically they are the same. although if it came down to it you can port the cobra intake where as the gt40 you would not be able to port....if you do its insignificant anyways. cobra intake really flows more even through the rpm range.....

if i were you and on a tight budget i would hit up proffesional products for a typhoon. 300 for satin finish and it looks sweet.
