Heys wats up guys ive been having a little problem going on i go a 98 cobra with 75k on it only mods are o/r x pipe and catback exhaust, and k&n airfilter.. it also has a 160 degree thermostat in it... the car bogs down between 1k and 2k and when at idle it idles low and sounds like its cammed haha after 2k theres no problem and the problem usually goes away when the car warms up but sometimes when warm it persist any help would be much appreciated
 
can be many things and I'm no expert..but I would start with cheap solutions if there is no CEL ...maybe try plugs or if it has coil packs witch I think 98 cobras do Maybe its a plug wire with cracked insulation that is arching somewhere...happened to me before but my sputter was over a wider band. Does it sound like there is an exstleak anywhere? I am sure someone with more knowledge will chime in.
 
no i just got my exhaust done seems to be perfect also i have imrc delete plates on it cause implanning on getting my supercharger soon but i doubt that would be the problem and i just changed he plugs not to long ago but after i did that my maf messed up to that ****ty k&n filter oil and i bought anew i dnt know if when the maf was out if it coulve fouled any plugs or somethin and all msd plug wires look great
 
I would take that 160 out, if your car is not under boost, there is no need for it. The lowest I would do is a 180 but that is about it. Other than that start small and clean your maf, and reset the battery.
