    Exhaust!

    I'm a Magnaflow fan. Had Flowmasters on my 97 Cobra and Magnaflow catback on my 99 and 03 Cobras. Not so loud that they are annoying, just deep and rumbly enough to say "back off before you get smoked".

    Best Cold Air Intake for 03-04 Cobra?

    There is no advantage to a "cold air kit" over the stock setup with a high flow air filter. The stock system takes air from the fenderwell just like the cold air intakes. The major restriction in airflow is the filter itself, so spend $35 on a K&N filter and be done with thinking about the air...

    Eibach springs on 03 Cobra

    Hi guys, I did a lot of looking online for installation info for Eibach Pro-Kit springs without a lot of luck, and had to do it by trial and error. Here's what I found, hope this helps somebody.... I've only done the rears so far to try to reduce hop. I have Koni Sport adjustable shocks...

    Need more traction on 03 Cobra

    Thanks U.M. I just put 18" rims with 285/35-18 Pirelli P-Zero Rosso Assimetrico's on the back, 220-AA-A. Could not go bigger because the rear rims are 9.5" wide but was hoping the better tire would make up for not being a 295 or 315. Haven't really had a chance to try them out yet because...

    Any suggestions for '03 Cobra exhaust mods?

    I had the Flowmasters on my 97 Cobra and they were OK, but had Magnaflow catbacks on my 99 and now my 03 and they're AWESOME. Best sounding exhaust ever. Just loud enough and sounds low and burbly low, but even better around 4000 rpm. The sound clips on their website don't do justice to how...

    Need more traction on 03 Cobra

    To get right to the point: I have an 03 Cobra and it seems like the rear wheels spin so easy that there's no point making any more power mods - not like I've made a lot already. I have a 2.93 pulley to install but don't want to till I can hook up better. Rolling in the slow lane doing 40 mph...

    Lets see some Cobras with wheels!

    10th anniversary 03 with chrome Y2K Cobra R's Here's my baby with 18" chrome 2000 Cobra R's....did things a little different with these. Ford's are 18 x 9.5, aftermarkets are 18 x 9 with a lesser offset, I've seen one with the 18 x 9.5's on the front and thought they stick out too far past the...

    Questions about 99 Cobra

    I've had both a 97 and a 99 and either one is a winner. As was mentioned in an earlier post, you can give Ford the VIN and you'll probably find that the horsepower recall has been done. My 99 has 64K on it and looks great, runs better. It's not a daily driver but it could be. No major...

    99 Cobra clutch shudder

    I have a 99 Cobra and just had a new stock 03 Cobra clutch and pressure plate installed, plus a FRPP flywheel, all about 6 mos ago (before winter). Less than 3,000 miles on the setup. Anyway, when I start out in 1st (or 2nd) gear, at low RPM's, there is a shudder or vibration till the car...

    Tires / alignment questions

    I have a 99 Cobra and the stock wheels / tires were 245/45-17's. I put on some 245/40-18's on the front and 275/35-18's on the back, 18 x 9 wheels x 26mm offset, same width as the stock 04 Cobras. The front wheels are the same diameter and width as my 99 stock tires, but for some reason they...

    help me decide

    I had a Spec II in my 99 Cobra and didn't like it. Very stiff and it burned up fast. Took forever to decide on a new one. A buddy has a Ram in his GT and likes it. I just went with a stock Valeo from an 03 Cobra and it's OK, no problems with slipping, but there is a little shudder when...

    Stock gear options?

    I thought about this one a lot too...my 99 Cobra came with 3.27's. I couldn't decide between 3.55, 3.73, 3.90, or 4.10's. Settled on the 3.73's because it's more of a daily driver than a drag strip car and am very happy with them. They made a big difference in acceleration but I'm still...

    need help with exhust car sounds like s..t

    Magnaflows rock I had a 97 Cobra with Flowmasters. They sounded OK, nice and boomy at lower RPM's but they quieted down at higher RPM's. Now I have a 99 Cobra and put on a Magnaflow cat-back, with stock cats and h-pipe, and it sounds AWESOME. Loud enough to get your attention but never so...
