I would think it would, the cobra intake and explorer intake are about the same. The seller didn't say too much about the throttle body though. I wouldn't put a bigger tb on if you still have the stock maf on. The maf should be bigger than the throttle body.
When there's a drink in the holder it might be difficult shifting. I put my arm right there when I driving since I don't have an arm rest. So if you just put your arm next to you and the drink in the back hole, it's probably alright then.
You might have to get a manual tranny crossmember, or drill holes and add spacers like the guy in the first website did. Here's a few links that might help you out. http://mustangforums.com/forum/4-cylinder-na-and-turbo/489852-how-to-swap-in-a-manaul-t5-transmission.html...
LOL, yeah if it's bottled drink. If you have a cup, you're screwed. The only time I get mad, is when you don't finish your drink that's in a cup, and get to your car and realize that you have no cupholders!!!!!! :mad: :D
