Hi there new to forum. I just bought my first Cobra, it is a stock black 2001.
It is the best thing that I ever did and I don't know why I waited so long.
I do have a question. I want to add a CAI but I'm not sure which one to get that will give the best results. Is it really worth it? Do you notice the difference in power? I don't want a drag car and I want to keep it as close to stock as possible but I would like a little more power for cheap.
Any thoughts?

Thank you!!

 

Well i would say a CAI is more for cosmetics at a stock level which you are at then anything. You really arent going to see much of a gain with it. The stock intake is actually a fine piece of equipment. Now if you were FI, then it would be a diff story. I would say, instead of buying a CAI, get gears. 3.73, 3.90, or 4.10 if you dont drive alot on the interstate.
But if you insist on a CAI, i would say either a JLT or C&L. Both are great intakes.

 

If I went with gears, how much would it cost to have them installed?

 

Average cost is ~ $300-$500.
Just depends on where you go. They dont increase the hp/tq or anything. But you will def notice a diff in the seat of the pant feel. They are prob the best mod for a N/A car.

 

I would get the 3.73 or 3.90 grears!

 

3.73 will be good if you do freeway driving, if you never do freeway driving then you could go with lower gears. if u want more air flow, pop off the air silencer.

 

Just go with the good ol K&N

 

yeah, ^^^^^^^
what he said, i dont want to write another report on why jlt sux
