OK, so I already have a '93 Cobra lower that I'm planning on putting in soon. My question is, would the install be the same with the matching Cobra upper as it would be with an Explorer upper too? I know they match up perfectly and bolt right down, but would the vacuum lines, etc. cause any other problems in installation?

I'm leaning towards getting an Explorer because they are much cheaper and easier to come by used, but the luxury of not needing an EGR spacer with the Cobra makes me want a Cobra.

Any info you guys have would be good. Thanks!

They'll work perfectly fine together. There's actually a write-up about a Cobra intake install somewhere around here, too. Might be in the sticky of useful threads, but it may also be in the 94-95 "How To" thread that's sticked in 94-95 Tech.
