Default I'm down to BBK or Cobra Intake....

After doen some looken, I'm down to 2 intake manifolds that I like. BBK SSI and The Cobra Intake Manifolds. Wondering which one I should go for. Get the Cobra's for $404 and the SSI for $520. They both have the same rmp range and can handle some good hp numbers. Ive always liked the cobra parts, but wanted to see what any of you guys thought.

the cobra one is good quality, nice finish, and supports good numbers if your car is stock. there are a lot of people that have complaints about the bbk intake, fitment issues, and the fact that for the price it does not flow like it should. there are better intakes out there like the holley systemax and the edelbrock rpm II

yea as soon as you buy have to have it cleaned up to get rid of the casting flaws and then ported just to flow as well as the eddy that its based off. Real good way to spend your money
