    need help choosing exaust system

    For less than $100 I put "'glass packs'' 13 inch mufflers that look just like borla's. No problem with clearance-fit. With Bassani catted x pipes great sound and excellent acceleration --- feels like 30 HP increase over previous flow masters and stock mufflers. A little drone at 70 mph but no...

    Anyone have 3.90's in their dohc cobra?

    I have 4:10's but with 27.1" OD 255/50R17 tires on the rear that actually makes it a 3.89. Did that on purpose as I really wanted the 3.89 but hard to find. I get 24 mpg at 70mph 2500 RPM. The taller rear tires with 1" spacers really give the car a nice rake with the 275/40R17 (25.7" OD) on the...

    Question on Flowmasters for '99 Cobra

    Do not think they will work. you need side in and out same side on the mufflers. I have some Flowmasters delta 40's 2 chambers off my 01 cobra . Anywhere near Nashville or Atlanta? A real cheap way to go with nearly the same sound is el chepo glass packs which I am currently running. They feel...

    New size tires for my '01 Cobra? Need opinions.

    I put 275/40 on the stock 8 inch rims on the front and 255/50R17 on the rear which are 1.4 inches taller than the 275's with 1 inch spacers and lowered 1.5 inches. This puts gives the car that ol muscle car rake and fills the wheel wells.

    Stock Mods?

    I have put K&N, mass air meter, underdrive pulleys, X pipes, aft cat systems etc on mine but all those $$$'s added together do not add up to what the 4:10 gears did. It is big dollar labor (gears are cheap) but the gears are still the best deal.

    Goodyear tire issue

    If the tread and both steel belts came off in a 360 degree hoop and left just the casing radial plies from bead to bead then you ran the tire flat due to tread punture most likely. Also, the innerliner should look very wrinkled and somewhat discolored. This could have happened days or weeks...

    Magnapacks on 01Cobra

    I have 'glasspacks' on a 01 cobra. With the catted Bassani X there was only a modest sound loudness and tone vs 2 chamber f/m. With a Mac non catted H pipe what a tremendous loud and distinct sound under full/partial sound. I think my glasspacks are 90% what magna would be. A h/y speed a little...

    Question on newly bought 275/40/17 tires

    Tire PSI The main purpose of tire inflation is to hold some load. The tire stamping will you give the max load for it's stated inflation to carry that load which is always way more than the axle rating (GVAW). Therefore, since most passenger car axle ratings are much less than what the tire...

    Centerforce clutch for 01 Cobra

    Exhaust sound Off the subject. Assume the x pipe is catted. Do you have a comparison of other 01 Cobra's with the Bassani X pipe and 2 chamber flowmasters vs your magnaflows. I have the Bassani catted X pipe but want more deep tone. Will the magnaflow be better or about the same as...
