You get what you pay for, the trickflow is a better intake. That being said I going for the cobra intake is still a good intake and its the intake that I plan to buy. For some reason I have always wanted one.

I've got a trick flow street heat, it works very nicely. I'd lean towards the street heat, especially a used one if you can find it. I picked mine up used, butin perfect condition for $300.

I went from stock to Cobra and noticed a big difference. Very pleased with it, dont know about the Trick Flow though.

The Cobra is a good intake, good for low end torque, I believe the TB opening is like 70mm, the Trick Flow im sre performs better though, but the Cobra is definately better the stock, just port SOB and im sure its just as good

Either one will be okay for a DD street car....I would buy either one used, but especially the Cobra. The new Cobra intakes are made in China and are not near the quality that the older ones were....in fact the HP rating on the newer ones has been decreased some......

If you can affor the slight extra, spring for the holley systemax intake instead. If you see all three intakes side by side in person, you will understand.

+1 have heard the same thing, i wonder how you tell? Anyway, the trick flow, i would think would be for higher HP ratings, and with boosted apps....

I will be having a polished upper and lower cobra intake with 3/8" spacer for sale within the next two weeks. It has only been ran on the car for about 500 miles. My car is used only for show and am having a new engine put in this coming week with a different intake system. I would like to get 375.00 for it. I also have a 65mm ford motorsport throttle body that I will let go for 70.00. Drop me a email if interested at droptop306@hotmail.com

The trickflow track heat is made of boosted and high revving motors. The street heat is made for lower horsepower H/C/I combosor bolt on motors.
