Default it's time for mods!!

alright guys i got a 99 cobra with 82k miles on the clock. no problems whatsoever.
bone stock motor, rims, exhaust, everything but a short throw.

where to start? i;m thinking of exhaust and suspension.

what;s the best sounding combos (in your opinion of course) for this motor?

Depends on your budget. You could always just throw some springs on, a mid pipe, and weld-in mufflers. I would suggest putting gears somewhere near the top of your list. Or you could go all out on a full exhaust, suspension, and internals if you have the cash.

Definately exhaust, then gears, cold air, pulleys. If you want to dig into the motor some cams are always a great idea. Suspension is a good one too to give you a greta ride and better traction. Its all on what you want first. If it was me I would add some go to it, then handling, and last the show.

i think i'm gonna get borla catback and possibly a catted midpipe right off the bat.

there's a great shop near me that works on cobras exclusively.

would my mileage be a problem do you think? i know it's kind of up there...

alsooo what gears for daily driving?

a friend of mine put borla catback and midpipe with high flow cats, and we were both pretty dissapointed with how it sounded.

i put a 40 series flowmaster catback on mine, and that alone was much more aggressive than his catback and midpipe. but im also puttin on my o/r H today[8D]

My steeda/Borla cat back really quieted down my car BUT it gave it a really nice tone with the x pipe. I had flowmaster 60 s before with the x pipe and it was way too raspy and loud it used to hurt my ears and tell the neighbors I was home at 3 am lol.(But I loved the looks id get and the people who backed down from attempted races lol)
