They don't come up that often. Might try calling a local JY and see if they can get one shipped in - but it will cost you more than $200 I expect.

I have a 1996 with EGR. $250 shipped... Or $210 if you come to ohio and pick it up in person.

New to the explorer intake trick

What exactly are you guys gaining by using an explorer intake?

Not at all. Looks more like the standard HO intake and even takes the same 5.0 HO plaque. See my garage for a good picture installed.

My HO intake looks nothing like that one. My intake is the one with tee standard oval ports all inline. the cobra intakes have the staggered round ports, that was what i was reffering to

yes it's worth it, they flow almost the same as an aftermarket gt40 intake


Here is a picture of ours. the upper looks "very" close to the oem mustang upper. Close enough to fool the untrained eye, which is good enough for the stealth look, and the dash plaque for the mustang will swap over, as mentioned.
