MAF and CAI for '01 Cobra

[CobraBob]

I recently picked up an SLP X-pipe with cats and the offroad add-ons so I can take them out. I also got the Steeda catback. I haven't put them on the car yet, but I'm looking to do that this weekend. I have been told that without the cats there would be not enough backpressure? I figured maybe I should upgrade the MAF and add a CAI with it. I was looking at the WMS systems and they sound good, but I'm not sure if I should go with the 87mm or 95mm. The car is bone stock right now except for the exhaust that I will be adding. I am planning on supercharging the car in the future. I don't want to push too many PSI since its my daily driver. Anyway, should I put the cats on now before I get the MAF and CAI, or does it not matter. Also, is the 95mm too big for the car now? I don't see it being a problem with the S/C when I get it.

I don't think you need to worry about a MAF at all. As for the CAI, the K&N FIPK seems to be what most people get, but you can do fine with just the filter. I have a JLT True CAI and it showed great gains on the dyno, but the fitment is very poor and its a bitch to install.

i have a BBK CAI and C&L MAF (80MM) for a cobra if u are interested in buying them.

I'm right outside of Quakertown, PA. PM me with the details and what you are asking for it.

If you plan to s/c, then you will not want to use the 87 or 95mm MAF that come with that CAI kit. Just an FYI.

You will be fine with no cats. A majority of people here don't have cats.
If you plan to s/c, then save your money on all the bolt-on engine stuff and just wait for the blower....otherwise you will end up having to sell it all because it won't work with the blower setup.

Densecharger's website doesn't work anymore and hasn't for awhile.

Had an O/R x-pipe with Borla cat back on the '01; pretty loud even with the Borla. Took the x off and put the stock cats back on to get through emissions. Seems to feel a little "bottled up" and is quieter. Haven't put the x back on yet. Meanwhile, had it dynoed without the x; 300.2 RWHP; 299.4 RWTQ with a MAC CAI as the only other change.
