1993 Cobra Intake or 94-95 Cobra Intake

[granprix76]

I will be upgrading the intake on my Mustang soon to a Cobra Intake and wanted some feed back to which intake would make the engine compartment look cleaner and have better performance? The 1993 Cobra Intake or the 94-95 Cobra Intake?

If you get the 93 Cobra you still have to buy the elbow unless you convert to the fox throttle body set up.

the 94/95 is much more unique, and currently discontinued. Plus, I think the plain silver plate and the cobra logo on the 94/95 manifolds only look so much better than the 93 cobra manifold, and the flow is only like 2cfms off, so its not that much better of performance w/the 93. And if you go w/ 93 you have to buy EGR plate, and Elbow conversion. not worth it in my opinion, go on Ebay, get a 94/95 cobra

Thats a nice looking intake...How much do they run?

Thanks, that's a GT-40 Upper intake. They make a little more power than the Cobra upper but its a small difference from my understanding.

Lower is the same as a Cobra 5.0 and the upper can be had used from a 351 lightning for about $150 or new for $300 (I believe). I just got mine used and painted it (normally just a silver powdercoat, mine was all chipped up).

If you want a cheap used lower, I have one that has a crack in the coolant passage but could be welded up by someone good at welding aluminum. I completely understand if you'd rather get a new one though.

I'm kinda biased on the 93 Cobra. ....Next on my list is to try the GT40 ...havent been able to come across just an upper yet...

The Fox set-up looks cleaner to me than the elbow...thats just me..

Both years od cobras a GT40 intakes, at least they are bassed off the GT40 lower and use large round upper intake runners.. I also heard the '93 flows better, but like mentioned a SMALL amount. I would say get what you can find the best deal on keeping in mind about the elbow and EGR items..
