Cool. It helped when I looked at the instructions and saw that the exploded view was with no screen. My FIPK is on and sounds awesome, it even changed the exhaust note a bit. The blower whine sounds way better now! Best $159 I've ever spent.

Did you disconnect the negative battery terminal and clear the ECM?

What is the exact procedure for clearing the ecm with disconecting the battery. Is this necessary.

Just disconnect the negative terminal for a few minutes & then reconnect it - some people will wait a longer period of time but it doesn't really seem necessary (ie - overnight).

Disconnecting the battery to reset the PCM is suggested by most, if not all, aftermarket CAI manufacturers so that the car's computer can re-learn some of the parameters associated with the new airflow characteristics.

Yes they do!? It's Part Number 57-2545. Here is a direct link to the K&N FIPK for the 03/04 Cobra: Click Me!

No, but I found it funny that KTP Dave couldn't find the right kit for a Cobra on the website mentioned. I was able to go right to it by following the on-screen prompts?

As for your comparison between the K&N FIPK and the MAC Straight Shot... What kind of comparison can you do??? One is a CAI (K&N), while the other is a 95MM MAF/CAI.
