It would help to know some details about your engine, before I'd make any reccomendations on which one to get. The openings on various aftermarket intakes are anywhere from approx 70mm to 90mm, so obvously a 85mm TB on a 70mm intake won't be any better than a 75mm. Yes you'll need a matching EGR spacer, only exception was the Cobra(is built in), but I believe they are discontinued.

well i currently have a explorer intake with the lower ported and port matched to my afr 165 heads, and tomorrow im switching t a custom cam and a ported performer intake from ed curtis, from what he says the performer is just way better intake than the ford ones he says he has seen it time and time again he said expecially for heavier cars he said if under 3300 pounds the performer rpm would be the way to go ive personelly tried the rpm2 and it gave up a whole lotta more than u would have expected and made a 7 less horse power and alot less under the curve it did break even with my explorer around 5800 so i took that thing back off

just my 2 cents

first of all, it was my thread and your opinion was neither wanted nor needed. second, I wasn't wanting my car to look like a mustang, I was wanting to see the god road at night. third, since when did I hunt you down and try to force you to change YOUR car? I was experimenting, trying to do something different. you want to follow the crowd, go right ahead.
and you can hate me all you want, I couldn't give two shiznits.

lastly, you want to bitch about me, take it to PMs, don't shiznit in this guy's thread

The explorer intakes are almost identical to the cobra intakes. :)

yeah I know, but now I get to brag about having a Cobra intake, rather than an "exploder" intake :p

If you plan on porting the intake I would get the explorer intake it allows for more removal of material.

I know there is still tension on the whole mustang lights thing, but lets not hold a grudge. I dont like the way that he has no periods, but I dont always do it. I dont always capitalize or spell right either. Maybe thay have trouble typing and have little time on the internet. You dont know.
