Plus, you're wasting time! LOWES or HOME DEPOT have EVERYTHING you need! The lower intake bolts are the same...intake to intake. I've had 3 different intakes on my car...still on the same bolts! The uppers ARE different however...SAME thread pitch but different LENGTHS! A Cobra's upper intake bolts are as follows!2@ 5/16 x 18 x 1.62"2@ 5/16 x 18 x 6.07"2@ 5/16 x 18 x 6.85"the bold lettering is the Quantity of bolts AND (the important part) THREAD PITCH!Write that down, take your happy asses on down to the hardware store with about 10 bucks or less. Either get the bolts listed above OR get a LONG piece of 5/16 x 18 threaded rod and appropriate nuts. Washers too! Take it home and make your own studs with a dremel (this is how ALL of my cars have been). If you can't get the bolts in that exact length....get longer with extra washers. NEVER short yourself on threads....they'll pull off. The throttle body is different intake to intake but I believe MOST are 5/16 x 18 on the fox flange...i think its the sn95 flange thats different. FINALLY, if you were cheap like me, you didn't get the high dollar hardware...so BE CAREFUL when tightening it all down! You can shear the head right off of bolts with out much problem....which is why I like to make my studs. Regardless. Remember, there IS more than one bolt holding down that upper intake with its Flat Machined Surfaces and Gaskets so you don't have to crank the shit out of it (thats my disclaimer...after having to remove numerous broken intake bolts for friends).that should clear up any misconceptions</blockquote>
