New Cobra Replica intake made in China?!!

I've seen those myself. They also make flowmaster rip offs called "master flow". I'm not sure of the quality of those pieces. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I wouldn't buy that knock off. I have an Edelbrock Performer intake for sale right now in the classifieds. It outflows the Cobra intake. The intake is excellent shape. I'm including a 1/2" carbon fiber plenum spacer that helps your motor run a little cooler along with it. $325 shipped.

Nothing Chinese should be in a Ford Mustang, period.
I'd hold out on ebay for a used quality intake...if you get the Chinese one, you'll always wonder if you are getting optimal performance...
Incidentally, I got my gt-40 intake used from ebay 5 years ago.
Good luck...
