Which intakes will clear the 87-93 valve covers on a 95 mustang without using the 1/2 inch spacer. I have a cobra intake now but I have to use the spacer with it because the egr hits and the vacuum pipe on the drivers side hits. I want to keep my stock hood so that is my problem with running any other intake with a spacer.

I have a Cobra intake with the Fox chrome covers. BE CAREFUL! Before I had my spacer I had to grind down that metal fitting that screws into the bottom on the drivers side. I did not take that into consideration before tightening down the upper when I heard a "crack".
Punched a large hole right through my new chrome valve covers.
You should be fine with the spacer, just check the clearance of that mofo piece.

I have the cobra on the car, but I want a little more race ready intake.

I've got the Eddy Performer 5.0 with fox valve covers and clears. Seen the RPM with fox covers. I think even the trick flow intakes will clear... Basically any aftermarket intake will clear them because they are designed for the fox body cars (the reason we need to buy the elbow adapter)
