Leave them stock unless you really have a built motor. They, at the most gain about 20 rwhp. There is far better mods for the cobras that offer a better bang for your buck. Most of the 03-04 cobra I have seen usually have a changed mid pipe and cat back. But if you insist on getting headers MAC from what I hear makes pretty good headers for Cobras and a reasonable price.

What the hell are you smoking?

On a 4V....headers, midpipe and catback along with a tune will give you a real good boost in power.

If anything just put a smaller blower pulley and a tune and let it rip.

I was saying for the price there is better things your could get. Yes headers will make a difference but pulley tune and catback will give you more power for just a little bit more money

OP if you go headers...go longtubes and get a tubular K member. You will need to go with Kooks or American Racing headers if you keep you stock K member and can still remove the trans. Any other header brand you will need to remove a header to take the trans out.

Not to mention a good mount of weight can be saved by going with a tubular K. For around $900 you can have NEW MAC ceramic lontubes, matching MAC o/r h pipe and a PA Racing tubular K member and keep the stock control arms.

Or you can go with Kooks or ARH for around $1200 new. You still need to drop the stock K member to install them though.

No, I say leave her stock. With your blower, she will push air plenty, you could have kitchen sink piping, and she'd still be fine. ( Just kidding, but you get my point ).
