    Yes or No: Is Bassani worth the extra money?

    -I respect your opinion.. I'm sure your right. But to be honest, I don't see a better alternative for my vehicle than the MAC product. I do have a 'stock' Cobra.. and the only other mod I plan on the engine is the lighter pulleys. I don't race the car, just want a class muscle car to enjoy on...

    Yes or No: Is Bassani worth the extra money?

    Name a better one? I did lots of research, and unless you can tell me of someone that's had problems with the **'03-04' Cobra 95mm MAF** then your just biased. No other CAI can match the power increase, and the kit is almost too simple to have quality issues. It's just a filter and MAF...

    MAC Straight Shot & Accufab Throttle Body??

    -Yeah that was the only problem... no instructions. It was pretty self explanatory.. I actually called the MAC tech to help me get the factory filter out correctly without damaging and warranty parts. The MAC does have a great stainless heat shield that covers almost the entire filter. It's...

    MAC Straight Shot & Accufab Throttle Body??

    Well I see the argument both ways, but I have to say the new 95mm straight shot for the cobra is a quality product and I've hand no problems. The MAC tech said that he was aware of the quality problems people have noted with previous GT intakes and the one from the Cobra is higher quality than...

    MAC Straight Shot & Accufab Throttle Body??

    Well I just installed the MAC Straight Shot 95mm for the '03-'04 Cobras and I am VERY happy. The product installed extremely easily with no mods at all (I've heard horror stories with the GT installs). This product is the newest CAI out there made exclusively for the Cobra and the throttle...

    Yes or No: Is Bassani worth the extra money?

    -That's exactly what I was thinking. This car was the most important purchase I've ever made (I'm 24)... and I really leveraged myself to have it. I hate the '05 body style and feel this is the last great muscle car for under 30k right now. ('03 Cobra 'vert). If Bassani has the best sound then...

    Yes or No: Is Bassani worth the extra money?

    I've noticed in my search for a cat back exhaust that Bassani is always the most expensive. Are they really better, or is it merely name recognition premium? (From a sound and quality perspective). Is it worth the extra money over say a magnaflow or borla?

    Not enough power... In 2005

    Gosh.. I just got done posting about the opposite. The only *good* thing about the new Mustang is the accross the board power increase. The stock stangs were severely lacking in power for years and years. 300 ponies if very respectible, especially for the price. To me, the real problem is that...

    Saw '05 Mustang on the road today... my thoughts!

    I'm posting here because I just parked next to an '05 stang during lunch. (Dearborn, MI). I have to say, I have no idea who they are marketing this car towards. I had my suspicions, but now they are confirmed. They've done the exact same thing that they did to the Thunderbird, which everyone...

    $28,000 for a brand new Cobra coupe 2004

    I got my '03 SVT 10th Anniversary convertible with 3,000 miles for 30k on ebay. This Cobra was the nicest one Ford built with the most options.. stickered around 45k. I had it inspected by a Ford dealer (bought it from Nissan, trade-in), and the report came back perfect. I noticed for about 2...

    Is magnaflow the only '03-'04 SVT specific aftermarket exhaust??

    How does the magnaflow sound? Is it noticeable difference but nothing obnoxious (I hope). thanks...

    Is magnaflow the only '03-'04 SVT specific aftermarket exhaust??

    i'm looking into a cat-back bolt on exhaust and would really like something exlusive to the cobras. my main reason is that i've never installed an exhaust and want to make sure that the designers had my specific vehicle in mind so that i know i won't need to mod it. i just want a bolt on for...

    Stock shortblock and superchargers

    This is kind of a depressing thread. I just bought an '03 cobra, even with a supercharger I really can't believe the motor will konk out anytime after 20 or 30k miles. I would hope to get 80-100k at least.. am I dreaming? (I hope not for what I paid for the car.. a vette will last forever)..

    Attention all 03-04 cobra owners..

    Your entitled to free loaners. And that grinding noise I attribute to the very beefy trasmission with thick gears. You'll hear a lot of clunking too until the car is very broken in.

    No black lens headlights for 99-04 Mustangs??

    Yeah, I just ordered those same tail lights from matrix racing! I haven't seen them on a mustang before, so that pic was very helpful. Mine will look just like that in the rear (save the steel lettering). As far as the headlights go, I challenge someone to find them on ebay. I've been on...

    No black lens headlights for 99-04 Mustangs??

    What gives? I just ordered some bogus headlights off ebay which I will be returning today. It seems that the darkets lights you can buy for the Mustang are stock on the Cobra. I can't believe you can't find a darker tint lens to go with the black housing. My car is all black and I really want to...

    SVT 10th Anniversary.. anyone know interior color??

    Well I just got my 10th Anniv. Cobra last weekend and it kicks major arse! As most of you know, the interior is black with red trim througout. I saw a cobra on ebay that had the bezel trim surrounding the radio, vents, and the shifter painted *red* also. This area comes unpainted from the...

    What do you guys think of these 20 inch rims/tire combo??

    fair enough.. thanks for the input, i'll go with the 18's. the only reason they grabbed my attention is because the corvettes use those sizes. figured the extra rubber might help but i guess not.
