    Cobra vs. GT....who wins?

    This was entertaining :rolleyes: The fastest car doesn't always win, the best driver doesn't either... thats why we race :D Go to the track and run him and see what happens, come back and let us know :) I don't like challenging other stangs... I like going after vets/cameros &...

    cooling tips for these hot motors???

    I removed the so called, fire blanket, from underneath my hood. Simply removing the black plastic holders so I can reinstall later if need be. I found covers over the vents of my 03 cobra's hood. these were easily removed by snapping them off. Closed the hood, and could really feel the...

    My personal review of the Magnaflow cat-back!

    h/x pipes... its just a matter of opinion.... I don't think there is much difference with the magnaflows... although I can tell you with flowmasters 2chmbr systems... mid-pipes with cats sounded better...without cats...the flowmasters were just to raspy like glass packs for me... way to...

    My personal review of the Magnaflow cat-back!

    The only negative comments that I have heard are some people are having problems with the tips moving, since the entire kit is bolt on. My suggestion to those and anyone else, have someone tack weld it in place... these are stainless steel and will outlast the car... plus tack welds are easily...

    04 cobra not fast enough

    I added the magnaflow cat-back kit for the 99/04 cobras and k/n FIPK II system. I did both of these at the same time. The k/n FIPK II ads 25 HP to the rears as does the cat-back. So, in a nutshell, for $750 I added 50 RWHP... I don't have dino numbers yet, but I will soon.... I CAN FEEL...

    My personal review of the Magnaflow cat-back!

    My cobra now has 23k miles on it, bought at the end of 2002, brand new. The miles come from my job, I have to travel via car a lot. Short 3 and 6 hr trips. The flowmasters had a loud drone at highway speeds, the magnaflows do not! They sound awesome and I couldn't have made a better choice...

    Car sounds like a diesel, please advise... :-(

    Man, sounds bad! I would take it back to whom replaced your motor mounts and pulleys. Make sure they didn't replacy your harmonic balancer. The underdrive pully is to be mounted to it, not replace it. If that doesn't work, I would take it to a ford dealer and pray :)

    What will 3.73s do for my '01?

    I had 327s in my 99GT, I went to 373s and wish I has went 410s or even higher. It through my speedo off... either a chip or drive gear swap is needed. The only thing I hated about my 373s was the loud wine from the gears.... but... that is because I went with crappy gears instead of Ford...

    2004 RoushCobra has arrived!!

    Nice car! Oh, that little black piece under the spoiler? I like it... helps with downforce... and besides, it drags under hard driving... and is a nice "pad" for when you drive onto steep or rough parking lots.

    My personal review of the Magnaflow cat-back!

    After weeks of asking around, listening to every cat-back sound clip known to man, and taking the advice from people that seemed to know what they were talking about, the purchase was made. $500 of cold cash netted my installer the parts, installation, and a $10 tip to them for doing such an...

    03 cobra rear spoiler???

    I think the 03/04 decklid spoiler should have been scrapped.... that would have made it easy for everyone to personalize their car.

    2004 RoushCobra has arrived!!

    the little plastic black piece, gives the frontbumper a "chin pad" if you will. mine is all scrapped up from pulling in the parking lots with un-even driveways.... running hard on old country roads - you will scrape the heck out of it - thats for sure... if it was white with the rest of my car...
