And well I think I have seen a few 4V intakes aftermarket, but I being that its aluminum, it can be ported and polished which makes it better as it is also a 2 piece! __________________ We expect shit to break, look foward to realizing exactly when it is happening, and than obsess about dropping plenty of cash to rebuild stronger, so we can try to run it hard as hell and break again. We are sick individuals.

I guess Cobra owners just have a better base to start on so we don't have to upgrade as much. Being not as experienced in this car as my old, I find it a pain though. When something lists 79-04 or something, I really really have to think hard on if it will work / research if it will work; many places are NOT specific enough sometimes. It is almost common sense to me, I'm smart enough to catch on quick . However, 96-98 Cobras seems to be a real small window of years for parts. So few years yet slightly off from the 99/01. Now 03 / 04 have an aftermarket like hell even though 75% of it is a zillion dollars worth of rear end upgrades. :lala However, even though I'm still in the clear, I sometimes wish I had a GT just so I could buy a bunch of different things to give me something to install / list that I did. : Also, as for actual intakes there are a couple out there that are supposedly good, but I think you have to find them directly through the guy who makes them or something. I don't even count what Ford has, they want small children for most of their products. My main reason for never changing my intake is it makes me remember how much I'd love to have a Kenne Bell. I'll probably not have one for multiple years, but I can dream. That and the stock Cobra intake looks really nice on the 96-98 in my opinion. (Sometimes I sort of value a bit of looks, not saying I wouldn't trade it out, but the aftermarket ones are so costly! For the air intake, I went with the K&N FIPK2 just so I could keep my stock strut bar. I'm odd.)
