Yes all the GT40 family of intakes (93 Cobra, 94 -95 Cobra, Explorer or GT 40 Tubular) will fit the Cobra lower. They are all basically the same.

If you go with anything other than a 94 - 95 upper you will have to get an intake elbow or convert to a Fox throttle body setup.

They do not sell the Fox cobra uppers seperatly but you may be able to find one used in the classified or ebay...

The Cobra intakes are great on a street car so I would stick with it.

Don't you already have a Cobra upper? If so why do you want to change to the Fox style?

You need to watch for a few things though.

1. the fox gt40 uppers have the EGR built into them, the elbow will not work and you have to run a fox t-body setup.

2. Some of the exploder intakes are NON-internal EGR and external, that is really fine if you keep the stock 94-95 t-body setup as our cars are external, if you go to a fox t-body swap and want to keep your EGR (foxes are internal) you will have to make sure you have an internal exploder intake (early models 97 and older were internal IIRC)

3. The tube gt40 intake is not in production any more (again IIRC), but can be found used and will work with an elbow OR fox t-body swap.

They all flow +/- 5-10cfm or so from one another...I think its more production toll. and what one got picked for what test...one intake might have been on the low side of that production and the other style may have been at the other end of that toll.

Is it on the tube or the oil cap itself?

I test fitted my pass side fox cover and the tube was kinda in the way (of the homemade CAI), but the cap was the biggie, I pulled the cap apart.

The top part of the cap comes off from the bottom, the bottom is very small compared. You just have to be carefull on how tight you get it as the top part is the trq. safe part that stops you from putting it on with a super stupid tight-ness.

I still dont have the pass side fox cover on as I am just going to cut the tube down and use a rubber hose to hold the cap on. I fig. put a fitting in the hose and even keep the vent to the CAI.

Hey
I just bought a whole explorer gt40 intake, I have the upper and lower.
The upper has internal EGR, that is it has a hole on the bottom and at the opening of the intake.
I haven't put it on yet, but the elbow adapter bolted right on and blocks the internal EGR.
Whats wrong with it?

The elbow will block the internal EGR stuff, if you run the the elbow with factory 94-95 egr and tube (thing that bolts to the elbow with the pipe from the header) it just blocks the internal and makes it an external. The internal EGR intakes can run either way.

With the external EGR intakes you can only run the external EGR...if you go to a fox t-body you have no choice but to delete the EGR with this style intake.

think of it like this...

with EGR internal passages- you can go stock 94-95 t-body (with elbow) or swap to a fox setup, keeping or deleting the EGR either way.

with the EGR external passages- you can run the 94-95 (with elbow) and keep or delete the EGR, but go to a fox setup and you have to delete the EGR.

No

You cannot use an elbow on the 94-95 OR 93 cobra intake (94-95 being yoru stock one) the elbow is already cast into the intake on the 94-95 and on the 93 cobra the EGR is already cast into the intake so you absolutly cannot run a the elbow on ANY of the cobra specific gt40 intakes.

Also forgot that you had the cobra intake (duh you have a 94-95 cobra), maybe the cast in elbow part is slightly diff. from the elbow I run (looks like the exact same elbow I run on my exploder intake) and does not give you as much room .
