New Cobra Replica intake made in China?!!

Remember when manufacturing left the big urban cities for the more rural areas where people would work for less? TYhe trend is not going to change, just go global. Now Mexico is loosing jobs to China.

Can you blame Ford? It's chepaer now and really not that bad. The one I got is pretty nice, although it's not as pretty as the powdercoted original. It just has the cast look like the lower half, and not the grey coated look. They could have included the EGR studs, but oh well, just a few extra bucks there.

I sold off my GT-40 and made a couple hundred $$$, and with this one, I can't tell any difference with the SOTP meter! I always liked the look of the Cobra intake anyway...
