Default Just got a 2003 Cobra!!!

I just got my second mustang, its a 2003 Mustang Cobra and its bone stock, except for the addition of a Borla Cat-Back System. My questions is, what inexpensive modifications can I add
tothiscar like this with out droping a lot of cash? Any suggestions will be of great help guys.

Get a pulley and a tune. Not sure how much that will cost in your area but it will be a decent improvement.

Congratulations on the Cobra, Those are some kickass cars.

The Cobra's come with 3.55's I am pretty sure. That is a steep enough gear I think. And he said that he already had an exhaust system. You could get a full exhaust system from the headers back.

Maybe some lighter rims/wider tires but that won't really do much performance wise except 'maybe' better traction.

How much money are you wanting to spend? I would say that pulley and a tune will be the best bang for your buck. Do you have pictures of it?

No pictures yet, just got the car this past weekend. The pulley and O/R H pipe sounds good, however should I also replace the stock headers?

congrats!
wow, i think i'd be ok with just driving it for the first few months, then slapping parts on there!
i would also have to say a tune, but maybe some term drivers will have any better suggestions?

I am not sure about the headers. lol You would probably get some more help in the 4.6L section. I don't know how well the stock headers flow onthe 03-04 Cobra's.
