I just took the Cobra intake off my car to strip the paint from (someone painted it green) and i noticed a little crack before on the the fin that the bolt goes through to be tourqed down , i thought it was just in the paint , but while pulling it off the car it came off in my hand... My question is is there a way to get this welded it looks like its casted and if so any shops or opinions ? Im not in great shape with money right now to buy a used one , unless its gonna cost round the same to be welded . Let me know your thoughts Thanks Guys..

it's built for speed not longevity, woman
I'm not too sure I know exactly what 'fin' you are describing...
Is it one of the 2 tabs, one on the front, one on the back of the upper intake?
I've had these bust loose on me. A local weld shop put them back on.
I had to file the mating surfaces flat again.
It wasn't expensive enough for me to remember the cost...

I wouldn't use JBWeld for this application.
It is great stuff for many things, but not this...
Just make sure the guy doing the welding is experienced with Aluminum...
It doesn't need to be an automotive shop.
Some Industrial Machine shops may even be able to do the job for you.

yup it has to be tig'd...so you need to find a competent welder. probably only gonna cost you about 10-20 bucks. Should only take 5 minutes.
