You didn’t rub me the wrong way. I am attempting to be factual while drawing comparisons that illustrate why the effort and money could be better spent elsewhere. While your current fabricated manifold may be too tall for a Cobra installation, it is anything but impossible to fabricate an air only low profile version that would fit. Of course, that would probably require an EFI-style solution and not look period correct.

Perhaps a good data point to remember is that most of these cars are attitude adjustment vehicles and the difference between 550 and 556 hp makes no difference in the accomplishment of the car’s mission. It only lightens your wallet. There are any number of more worthy endeavors in the areas of ride, handling, appearance, etc.
