One of the best air intake scenarios is the velocity stack anything but that the air has to curve and there is turbulence.

As far as I could tell to do a drop base you need a 14" filter and I don't see many photos of a Cobra with a stock hood and a 14" filter. Maybe someone will chime in a point out some examples but I think it is a tough fit on many cars.
I have a 14" air cleaner with a drop base, but it's sitting in a box as the hood won't close with it on. I'm going to a system similar to the MAXX Air System MAXX Air System [427 289 CSX CCX KMP ACE HT SPF] - $267.40 : Acton Custom Enterprises, Custom Metal for Cobras in hopes the filter will fit up into the hood scoop.

I'm also looking at replacing the 1/2" carburetor spacer with a 5° wedge plate (http://www.summitracing.com/int/part...5030/overview/) to angle my carb and air cleaner down 2°, rather than up 3° as it is now, in hopes that will not only lower the front of the air cleaner but also give better alignment of the air cleaner to the hood scoop.
