65mm or 70mm tb...i'd measure the intake track of the cobra intake first. I beleive it's only 65mm wide.

cobra intake has a 70mm opening. i have a 65mm on my car and it doesn't match up with the opening on my intake. as far as mass air, as long as it's larger than the throttle body. i'd go with a pro-m 75mm.

In that case, i need to switch out my 65mm to a 70mm on my Cobra intake when i finally install my heads and cam.
