Should I Buy This?

[Reddevil91]

Looking at this intake to put on my car, was going to buy this and get a lower off an explorer or mountaineer with a 5.0. I just don't know if this is a good pick up or is this junk. I've seen it labeled as mercury marine what is that?

Short answer. No.

Short answer. No.

Can you explain? Is it crap or do you say so bc you feel there is better options?

That is a marine version of the Cobra/GT40 and best I can remember there are problems getting the EGR spacer and throttle body to bolt up to it correctly.

This has popped up before. It is a Marine GT40 boat engine intake that is being advertised as able to be used on a vehicle.

They will not work on a car. EGR provision in a different spot, and more importantly, no mounting flange for the throttle cable linkages. It's also shorter than a standard cobra intake which leads to alignment issues with factory style intake tubing and/or supercharget kits.

You had a really good picture of one of each side by side before, do you still have that Mike?

Ahhhhh thanks man, glad I didn't pull the trigger. Thought the area for spacer and tb looked short. Guess I'll just have to wait or maybe think about a trick flow since all the big box shops have done away with cobra intakes.

Tried to find it but couldn't

Sorry my answer was short. I was traveling and didn't have time to get into it like these guys did. I just gave a short answer of no in hopes that you wouldn't pull the trigger on that until you heard the advise given above.
