UAEcobra97 · 02-12-2008, 05:11 PM

hi guys,

i am planning on ordering an air intake kit for my cobra 97 ,, i know that any air intake can serve, but i really want to know

which brand is the best to buy it ?
which won gave better rwhp output?? (BBK, K&N, JLT, .... , many

) .

because i live in UAE and buying the part with shipping coast alot overhere. that is why i want to make sure that i am buying the proper kit

And also should i buy a tuner ship with it or no need ?? if yes which is the best (Diablo, SCT, JET , ....)

guys thanks for your help in advance

JLT nets the most hp, but you will have to remove the strut tower brace, as it will not fit underneath it.

Western Motorsports has a real good one, that is what I am running. I think they net the next best to JLT. www.wmsracing.com

JLT is what i have always heard as being the best. as far as chips go IMO diablosport is the only way to go. that is what my local shop said was the best and i love this thing.

tcchubb & nckissfan i would like to thank you guys for your replys. ... I honestly was leaning towards the BBK since it fits with out removing the brace but after what i read from the replys i am reciving i think most of the people are going with the JLT

The bbk looks good but can cuase detenation which is very bad go with Jlt or the Wms.

+1 on the BBK not being a good choice. It may look good, but that's about it. I would go with either the JLT or the WMS. Just remember, removing the strut tower brace for the JLT can change the handling characteristics of your car. Maybe not a great deal, but will change it none the less. Let's see some pictures of your car

I have a JLT and thats what i would go with but mikes right you will have to remove your strut tower brace for this particular intake.

what causes the detonation from the bbk i know a couple of people that has one

I think the BBK, being chrome, retains a ton of heat from the motor. I know that, the JLT being a plastic wont hold heat. At least, that is what I have read about the BBK. They do look good.

tcchubb · 02-13-2008, 11:40 PM

yeah i think the crome has a lot to do with it.

I think the answer is the Blown intakes are the best

UAEcobra97 · 02-15-2008, 07:36 PM

thanks guys for the replies ... i realy got saved by you people from buying the BBK air intake .. but i am confused now , since i made my mind on the JLT but on the other hand i don't want to take the strut brace off ... and regarding the WMS i think it is expensive (with the same output of the JLT)

i don't know what to do ?? ?
