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......
