Omg!!!

I just found a 98 cobra intake for $100!!! Looks like its the upper and lower, but waiting for a call from the seller to find out for sure.

WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!

I bought a compete kit of Craigslist last year for #300, but decided not to use it and sold it. I wish I still had it...

Thats OK, I just talked to the guy and he still has it, upper and lower, but its sold to me now!
Its a 6 hour drive, one way, but well worth it. Get to take another road trip in the mark and get one heck of a deal.

 

[MonsterMark]

Its a 6 hour drive, one way,

Glad your time is worthless.

12 hours.

60 mph average

720 miles

24 mpg

30 gallons

$2.25 gallon

$67.50

plus wear and tear (Tires, oil, etc) and depreciation.

Probably close to $80.00 and 12-13 hours of your life to pick up a $100.000 item.

Ever heard of UPS?

1/3 the cost and you have it in 2 days.

Maybe its just me, but I like to be out on the open road. I would rather go get it. I love driving my Marks. Ive taken the 97 cross country 3 times now, and my first drive in the 94 was 700 miles. I find it soothing and relaxing, almost theraputic.

According to google maps its 688 miles round trip. Estimated 11:48. I leave at 5 AM and make it home for dinner.

688 miles

28 MPG (taking the 94)

24.5 gallons

$2.35 /gallon

$57.50

Or I could save $20 and have it shipped, but he really perfers pick-up, and I dont mind to drive, especially for a deal that saves me $200-$300.

lucky! there was another cobra intake on ebay for 250 the other day in San Diego, but decided to completly pay off some bills...........including my Mark

yep, i had a loan on it.......

 

[kustomizingkid]

Nice score!

I don't mind driving either... it's fun and relaxing.

 

[Stack]

I love to drive... sadly it will have to wait. KK is just going to give me his cobra intake and rails... Cause he is such a nice guy and it will look better on my black on black

 

[kustomizingkid]

Hmmmmmm.... whats in it for me?

lol i just paid off my 98 lsc last week too ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[kustomizingkid]

I paid off my 98 LSC the day I bought it....

 

[chicken]

oh yeah well i paid ALOT more than you did.......oh wait, thats not good oh well at least i own EVERYTHING i have!

 

[shiryu0]

oh yeah well i paid ALOT more than you did.......oh wait, thats not good oh well at least i own EVERYTHING i have!

i paid too much too..........lol...........er.......yeah

but not no more

For all the driving you will be doing, how much better air/flow and power will you gain?

 

[Chadly]

From what I hear, much better flow over the stock 97 intake, and better low end torque and high end HP, well worth the theraputic time I get on the road, and the hundreds of dollars I am saving.

 

[kustomizingkid]

It also looks better lol....

 

[Chadly]

Gonna look a lot better after I polish it!

 

[AbrahamLincoln]

i wonder how much is involved on a gen1? probably not worth it.

 

[kustomizingkid]

Mike did it...

See I've read the opposite here.

Everything sates that you will lose low in torque, and move the curves up into the higher rpm range. Maybe I'm misinformed but this is what I have read

Just removing the stock Gen 1 intake probably takes longer than the whole swap on a Gen 2.

I havent read anyone saying they lost power by doing the swap. The gen 2 intake is the worst of the intakes for the B head DOHC's. The gen 1 is pretty close to the cobras. Can you post a link to where you read that?

I know if the runners have been chopped you will loose some down low, but this one is stock and I have 4.10's to help out.

Plus it looks cool as hell.

The Cobra intake Question?? is a simple one, if you have upgraded to 4:10 gears open up the exhaust and air intake you will notice a power gain, 5 to 20HP in the upper RPM range, the more mods you have done to overcome the weight of the Mark the better the Cobra intake will act, but you will loose a slight amount of low end H.P and torque, the power band will be a little more peaky. This is all dependent on a tune, without out a tune you will probably lose performance. The Corbra intakes hat gives it a larger air volume and it,s runners help even out flow and torque curves past 3.5K RPM, but again fuel and timing curves need to be adjusted to give the best benefits.

The Gen1 intakes are by far the best design, they maintain odd even primary and secondary runner lengths, have a broad H.P. and torque curves, they perform much better in the lower RPM range, off idle to 4K RPM and are dam close to the Cobra intake in the upper range.

The Gen2 intake was on the right path but not implemented well, terrible casting, runners are not matched well, ports dont line up ect..... The Gen 2 intake tried to take the best of the Gen1 and Corba intakes together and failed terribly, more due to bad planning and implementation.

I use a Gen 2 intake on mine but have tried to fix some of the problems, I opened up the upper plenum, use a 1" intake spacer at the throttle body and intake to open some volume, pulled the plugs tried to remove as much flashing as possible and port matched.
