i have a 1999 cobra conv, i added a magnaflow cat back exhaust. sounds great but i want more.... im thinking about adding either a BBK or JBA Headers and a BBK Cold air intake, does anyone know how much power i would get with headers, x-pipe exhaust and a cold air intake, real numbers no guessing if you can send links. thanks

long tube headers have been proven to give you 16-18 hp and a JLT cold air is good for 12-16 hp> so 28-34 hp

I think your numbers are a bit flawed, Jeremy. You may see 20ish HP with a combination of those parts. You can't take parts that say they'll give X horsepower and total them up because you're going to be very disappointed once you hit the dyno.

I would recommend a tuner also. I have a Diablosport predator for my '99. These cars have a LOT of potential and a tuner will help you maximise your stock or modified Cobra.
