intake options

[7t9cobra]

i ported my lower intake and i would like to buy an aftermarket upper. i have a 65 MM TB waiting to go on it also. anyone have pics of a bobs or any aftermarket intake installed. im also considering buying a lower but im not sure yet. opinions?? BTW the head will be ported so it needs to be gasket matched.

If you are going to replace the intake go with the newer style. You can gut the upper then port and knife edge the lower. That's what i did and it will still looks stock.

that was the original plan. i already ported and knife edged the lower, i am just considering an aftermarket upper. im eliminating the EGR and IAC so aftermarket would be nice so i dont have to have block off plates or anything. im trying to stay as far away from stock as possible anyway.

The only "aftermarket" ones are the ones I mentioned in your big thread.

yea, i looked at 40 bobs and i think im buying the cylindrical sheet metal one. i just dont want a stock style intake and its not too bad of a price considering it come with a 65 MM TB with the right throttle set-up.

I get it. You want something big and fancy so when you open the hood people will go "OOOooooo....":pimp: The cylindrical one look like it would work or be severly overkill

lol now you get it. not only do i want it fast, but it needs to look insane. i really dont want there to be ANY issue with getting air in and out of the cylinders. im dropping my head off to a guy i know before i go to mexico on thursday for a port job. which reminds me. does anyone know where to find the page of info on head porting? i need to know how far it came be ported. im going to print that page off and hand it to the porting guy along with the head.

There is a guy/shop in NY that could make you a real snazzy intake...

Yup one of the ones I spoke-ish of. Of course it helps I think if you have a inline lower :D But that doesn't stop ya cause others have made box style intakes using the 4 square style as well.

i dont like the way the box style intakes with the sheetmetal upper look. they dont look like they flow any better either, but i could be wrong.
