Default New Kid is here!!

Brand new mustang owner, always wanted one though!!
Just had to have the 97 Cobra Saleen (S281) Convt.
Need to know more about the 4.6! Think I got some trouble.
Had it checked out before I bought (Ford Dealer Service, 3rd Party), but developed a valve tick after a mere 35 miles. Comments??
Nice car 29,800 with car fax history, but you never know!!!

Default Nice cars boys!!

Thanks for the tip!!
I know its been kicked around. Came with H-Pipes and some nice after market stuff underneath. Mufflers suck though, sounds like old "Glass Packs". Muffler so loud I could not hear the pings when I was doing the test ride but when backing off a little in 3rd & 4th I thought I noticed some chatter. Could not tell if it was the pipes vibrating or the valves. I guess it was the latter. You guy's know if the oil pumps have history? Is the factory pump sufficent? When I cold started noticed a little chatter when the engine revd.
I'm looking for the 5.0 rumble you know. Will Flowmasters give me the music I'm looking for? Not my first time on the street, been burned before.
Think I'LL suck it up and stick with this little pony!!
