Will a stock hood clear a cobra intake? Wasnt sure if it had the same height as the stock did or not. Right now I have a 2 1/2" cowl and was thinking about going more of the sleeper route. Already killed the whale tail and went back to stock and thinking of swapping out the hood too if it will clear

thanks

Cobra intake fits just fine. Almost identical to the stock intake's dimensions.

yep , no problem . I'm doin the exact same thing as a matter of fact , taking off my 1" spacer , getting shorter valve covers and taking off the cowl hood and going back to the stocker . I just want that "clean stock" sleeper look .
