Default First Modifications?

Awaiting delivery of an 03 stockSVT Cobra. I'm going to want to begin modifying the cobra immediately. What should I be starting with? Cold Air Intake, H/X Pipe, Exhaust? I listened to some of the sound clips in the Pipes/Boost/Juice forum but some of themdidnt work. I had a hard time finding 03-04 cobras to listen to. I like the throaty sound of flowmasters. I used to have them on my 89 5.0GT. I know many people are fans of them. Maybe I should give Borla, LM or Mac catbacks a shot? I just dont know. if any 03-04 cobra owners have any suggestions or sound bites of their own vehicles that would help. What about X/H Pipes? I had an off-road H on the 5.0 and i loved how loud it was. I',m not sure if I want to risk the off-road this time cuz its yellow car and i feel like the cops will have their eye on me. I just don't know enough about H/X pipes to make a decision so tips on that would be appreciated. Same with cold air intakes or whatever other mods you guys suggest I do first. Cannot wait to get started. Only if the damn car would just get here already! Catch y'all on the flipside

I didn't see a link in your post. would u mind trying it again? also, im trying to get more of the rumble/exhaust tone than the supercharger. should i not add a pulley so as to avoid that cuz i've heard in doing so makes the whine louder?

here is what mine sounds like in the car. this was with the port and 2.93 upper 4# combo when the car made 522rwhp. this is the night i blew it up. the other car silver 4.6 is actually a mustang gt with a 5.4l 4v swap with a t-76 turbo kit on it. it makes about 700 rwhp.

I would highly suggest an Accufab t/b, an aftermarket intake set-up, a smaller pulley and a tune. These alone should grab you 100hp

For a 03/04 terminator cobra. Smaller pulleys with a tune do wonders alone along with intake and exhaust the power gained is rediculous.
