I have my strut brace with my bbk and All I had to do was grind a small part off of the brace and now it fits fine.I love my bbk it looks and sounds great but I havent tried any other intakes.Im going to try and put up a pic of the bbk. I think it looks way better but thats just me.

JLT cold air, BBK on a cobra is almost pointless, Unless you wanna pay 300$ for a shiny chrome intake, Go with JLT 4" CAI they are not that steep price wise, look SICK and actually make a diffrence in performance.

well i was looking at the hpm performance strut tower braces, theirs curve towards the front bumper and up so it looks like it would clear but if anything ill get a custom one made, id rather the jlt though. thats what i have. and they will not paint match the mystic. they have the mystic-chrome paint which isnt the same paint as on the 96 mystic cobra, mystic-chrome = brighter. and the mystic paint isnt as expensive as it useto be. youll have to call them personally and give them your paint code.

Like I said I only had to trim a small part off the edge of my strut tower to put the bbk on. It only took 5 mins to trim it down and its alot cheaper than buying a new brace.

I emailed the guys at JLT awhile back to find out if they knew of a brace that would fit my CAI. They said that they didnt know of one that would fit mine, but they told me the name of one that would fit their carbon fiber setup. Dont know the differenceand cant rememberthe name of the brace, but might be something for you to check into.

Not to be a downer but no intake will give you a big increase in performance. I was really dissapointed in my JLT. I was all excited because the hype was so high on these intakes, but all I noticed was a little better throttle response, that's it. No increase in overall power or seat of the pants feel. Defiantly not worth $230... Yeah it looks good and an intake is good to have because it's one of those helper mods, but don't expect anything more than that.

When buying an intake, stay away from any metal or chrome intakes. They attract the heat way more. Any plastic/rubber style intake is optimal. I do admit my JLT keeps cool all the time because of the PVC material it's made of. Good luck...
