The magazines had a lot to say about that manifold. It made pretty good power in their tests. What's the rest of your setup?

YEP! An engine is a "system" or more specifically, an air pump. Throwing an intake at it may or may not help. Give us some more particulars.......

If your Cobra is not highly modded, the only thing you are likely to experience is a lighter wallet. If you like the looks better, that could be a reson to buy it, and it is not likely to hurt power based on it's only published dyno test.

the motor is still stock as 29000 miles on it just thinking about doing stuff do it .I was just wondering about the manifold .so on a stock motor its really not worth it then save the money for head work. the car has 3:55 gears cf dual fric clutch B&M ripper shifter ,subframe connectors, 4 point lower chassis brace, strut tower brace,hotchkis lower and upper control arms, slotted rotors front and back,1 5/8 headers stainless ceramic coated, bassani stainless high flow cats and borla exhaust, ram air set up

Yep, head work would be the best move - and if the heads wind up flowing more than 225cfm, get the Cobra lower intake ported - the stock Cobra intake flows 205-210cfm and can flow 250-260cfm with a pro-port job.
