Hi I have a 1990 mustang gt with a ford crate 306 and I was wondering what would be the best upper and lower intake for it I kinda like the cobra intake but don't know if that would be the way to go right now it has the trick flow street burner upper and lower but the upper seems to be warped was wondering should I get the same set up or get the cobra???? Thanks

I love my street burner tbh, i guess it depends what you want and how much $$$ you can spend. I couldnt find a cobra intake that wasnt backordered though

If you do decide on the cobra it might be best to look for an old casting, I've heard the new ones that are stamped ford racing next to the throttle body are prone to leak.
Like this one, but they can be found for less http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-OE...Parts_Accessories&hash=item41684865c5&vxp=mtr

Make a pass by the automotive machine shop with your intake in hand (both pieces, upper & lower). Ask them how much it would cost to have all the mating surfaces checked and machined flat. It would probably be less expensive than any other alternative.

The Explorer intake is a nice, cheap alternative. Moves the same amount of air as the Cobra, but costs 1/3 as much. And they aren't built in China....unlike the newest crop of FRPP Cobra intakes.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

This. You'd spend less fixing a better manifold than it would cost to purchase an inferior one.
