The stock HO intake has oval shaped runners in the upper intake and are arranged in a straight line. The lower intake has that same arrangement and then offers a couple tight bends to the #5 and #8 pistons (I think it's those ones)

The cobra intake (and GT40 and Explorer) has larger round runners that are in a staggered arrengement. They are capable of flowing much better. The Cobra and Explorer intakes are roughly a cast version of the famed GT40 tubular intakes.

The difference is 23 horsepower on my friend's otherwise stock 88 Saleen.
