Just make sure that it is not an explorer intake.

What difference does that make? $200 is a great price for an Explorer and it can make the same power as a Cobra or GT40.

whats better gt40 or cobra intake? Im looking into getting a new intake very soon

i have an 96 explorer upper, got a nice high end SOTP kick but low end "hop" went down a little....


i paid $100 for the upper (thanks Rio5.0) which had the runners nice and smooth..

How is the GT-40 better? It only looks better IMO. Lets compare the two....

1. They both flow pretty flow about the same
2. The GT-40 looks better
3. The Cobra is much cheaper
4. The Cobra upper is fully portible, while the GT-40 upper is not at all
5. The Cobra has a built in spacer, the GT-40 does not

Sounds like the Cobra is better IMO....

gt40 outflows the cobra, not by a ton, but it does

The cobra is more cost effective though.

The explorer intake is not worth 200 bucks IMO.

A while back i had an intake flow chart, i searched and who ever hosted it took it down. But the explorer intake did not fair all that well. Noticeably less than the gt40 and the cobra.

Also by the time you pay to have the cobra extrude honed, you could just of bought a better intake in the first place. If i had that type of money i wouldn't buy either one.
