K*A*B June 14th, 2005, 01:22 PM have there been a couple designs of the factory intake tube
in all of the pics i see they are kind of smooth and rectangular
mine is more rounded looking and has a bunch of restrictive looking stands running down the middle of it , i guess they are used to quiet them down
i took off the resonaters and silencers , sealed the holes up but still have these stupid looking blockages in the tube
JoeyLincolnMK8 June 14th, 2005, 01:29 PM LMS does a custom intake tube, contact geno.
K*A*B June 14th, 2005, 01:57 PM i did , i was just wondering if 2 different tubes exist or if all the tubes i see in the pics are custom
1wykdmk8 June 14th, 2005, 02:24 PM You have the earlier model with the 'dimples' in it just like the current one that I have now. There is nothing you can do about it, unless you cut the intake tube open at those 'dimples' and fiberglass the holes closed......like I plan on doing...... :Beer
K*A*B June 14th, 2005, 02:48 PM will the later one fit under the hood still , i have a later one coming , i wonder if there will be a performance difference
JoeyLincolnMK8 June 14th, 2005, 02:51 PM what ive heard is it does not really give any "noticable" performance... but it will give better air flow, and nice growl as well.
ONEBADMK8 June 14th, 2005, 02:59 PM No difference at all.
driller June 14th, 2005, 03:04 PM No difference at all.
Maybe not but looks a lot better...

K*A*B June 14th, 2005, 03:17 PM i need to change it anyway mine is broken , but it does look better
ONEBADMK8 June 14th, 2005, 03:49 PM Maybe not but looks a lot better...
I meant between the dimpled version of 1993/94 and the latter smoothy.
driller June 14th, 2005, 05:34 PM color matches very well JP.

K*A*B June 15th, 2005, 09:36 AM How'dya break it? I found them pretty tough cutting and welding on them. :wrenchi screwed the nitrous nozzle into it at a little to much of an angle and it started rubbing the hood :Bang , now it has formed a couple cracks in that area
K*A*B June 15th, 2005, 09:38 AM OR you could make a pimp azz one out of steel.i was going to do that , but even when it is coated it holds way more heat than the plastic one
unstoppable June 15th, 2005, 07:09 PM I disagree.
ninetyFourMarkV8 June 15th, 2005, 08:26 PM What size K&N fits on the rubber connector for the intake tube?

Would a Ice Box help it out for HP?
Where can I get a Air Intake?

You're one stop shop for all of that is Lincoln Motorsport (http://www.lincolnmotorsport.com) .
ninetyFourMarkV8 June 16th, 2005, 08:55 PM will a 97 cobra intake tube fit on a 94 mark?
StraDog June 16th, 2005, 09:37 PM will a 97 cobra intake tube fit on a 94 mark?
Not unless you have the cobra intake manifold...
Stick with what is made for our cars and deal with Geno at LMS. That's proven performance for a relatively good price and be done with it for now.
StraDog June 16th, 2005, 09:39 PM OR you could make a pimp azz one out of steel.
How much for one ?!? LoL. Hit me up with some info and if you have any numbers on it.
