Me and my dad work on my car every so often and replace a performance part here and there. and it seems like we ALWAYS manage to break something in the process and end up spending $200 or so more dollars than we wanted. This time we were replacing my valve covers. We didn't want to take the plenum all the way off because last time we did, we had major problems. So we loosened all the bolts for it and just moved it as much as we could to get the valve covers out. It took us awile but we did it. When we went to start the car back up again, we had a major problem- the plenum had a big crack in it and the car wouldn't stay on. It really sucked because we just spent all that time putting in the valve covers and they looked good.
So as much as I hate it, I have to leave my mustang in my friend's driveway for a week. I have to order a new plenum and wait like 4 days to get it, then install it. So my dilema is, which one should I get? My dad is the one that broke it, so he volunteered to buy the new one. Only problem is, we don't know which one to get and don't want to spend over $400. Got any suggestions?

Cobra intake is good for a cheap price.. looks kick-*** too.

I don't really want one that looks like the stock one. I want one like the Edelbrock. shorter and allows more space. but that one is like $500 I think

I prefer the Cobra because it looks stock .
GT-40 is another solid option.

dude just get it, it will be worth it! Your not really gonna get one for under 400 new.

How much performance am I gonna get out of this? enough to notice?

Dath

Not alot with stock mass air and throttle body.

You're right, however, I still have my stock TB, I changed to 73mm Cobra MAF and I noticed a nice BIG gain in low-rpm power, the TB along with a bigger MAF will help with more power all throughout your band.

yea, but we're talking around $500 for all that, right?

Haven't priced them out recently, but when I upgraded 7 years ago the 'Cobra Kit' was in the $500 area. Included #24 injectors, 70mm MA, 65mm TB and a Cobra computer.
