Couple quick questions

rrohrig said:

I have a couple easy ones -

1. What is the proper torque for the lug nuts on an '03 Cobra?

2. I recently put a full Magnaflow catback and off road X pipe on and it seems to smell/slightly smoke. I was not sure if it is because I took the cats off or because the exhaust is still new, or both?

3. Should I keep the shift stops on the MGW shifter, as MGW warns that Tremec or who ever says that they should not be used with the transmission?

Thanks again

1. 85-105 ft/lbs

2. Mainly because it's still new. There is an oily residue left inside of most all exhaust components from the manufacturing process. Once you've put a few hundred miles on it this will burn off and the smell will go away. Additionally, a non-catted exhaust will have a different smell to it just for the simply fact that you are now passing more raw unburnt fuel vapors and emissions out the pipes which normally would have been converted by the cats.

3. Yes. Just back them out just enough so they won't make contact with the shifter when in gear, but there's no need to completely remove them.
