From what I've heard, if you don't have much hands on experience, LT headers in the 4v cars are quite a pain to change. If you don't really mind the body style, I'd say go for a 99/01 4v, they are better motors to mildly mod than the older 96-98 4v. But if you're looking for a 96-98 4v car for really cheap, you could buy my 96 GT w/ a 96 4v in it haha
I just did mine, and i didnt think that they were too bad at all. i dropped my k member and supported my engine with a strap and a engine hoist, once the k member is out the headers are right there and come out pretty easy. it was a weekend project for me and a buddy, but we had a lift that made it easy, but jackstands and a hoist in the garage will do just as well. im 18years old and i didnt think they were too bad and i have a descent amount of hands on skill, but it doesnt take an expert to do it. PM me if u need any info if u end up getting that 98 and doin headers

also i have just an intake and full exhaust and id be willing to bet its around 330hp+ at the crank and then if u get it tuned it should put u up around 350hp. i did my full exhaust at one time and i noticed a HUGE difference in power increse and when i get it tuned its just goin to get better

I kinda like the sn95 style a little more, but it's just prefernce. Plus they're cheap. A lot of 96-98 Cobras are about 6-8k which is cheap if you ask me. Even if I got a blower im looking at like 12-13k total for a 460+ hp car. Seems like a deal to me.

Looking at a 1 owner '98 cobra Black on Black convertible with 12,000 orig. miles. Not driven much and well cared for super clean is 14K to much to pay?
Also, what would be the easiest and fastest upgrades to get more power as it seems weak compared to my '06 GT.

Are you keeping your 06 or selling it?
