I have yet to see a black cobra intake anywhere for sale (that is brand new). You'd have to paint it or powder coat it. The TF street heat comes in black or satin though.

RE: Cobra Vs Stock INtake

The new Cobra intakes are made in China and lesser quality. Go to a junkyard and grab the intake off a 5.0 Exploder motor, it's the same thing. While your at it, grab the heads too and you'll definitely notice a power difference.

W/ stock heads, anything bigger than a 65mm TB is overkill. The heads can't flow enough to keep up. If you plan on upgrading the heads, then 70 will be fine....you'll want to get a larger MAF, though. The stocker is only 55mm.
