Default Just bought an 03 Cobra

I have not been on here in what it seems like a couple of years! Long story short I bought an 03 Cobra that is pretty much stock minus the exhaust, and cant really make my mind up where to start on mods. I will post up pics soon.

Sweet, congratulations. Welcome to the party, pal...!

Most folks seem to agree that the Terminators respond very well to intake/catback/tune, that's a good common starting point if you aren't already thinking along those lines...

Which reminds me, I have a Steeda catback sitting in the garage doing me no good. Need to put those pipes on!!

Dont forget a smaller pulley too. :-)

Intake, tune, exhaust, pulley = 500 rwhp easy! Wish my 06 modded that easily. lol

That's good for about 450-465 rwhp .... Without getting the Eaton ported, LT's or NOS...... <----then you'll go over 500 rwhp

then once you get used to 450rwhp you could go twin screw and be at ~600-630rwhp

Before you start modding first figure out what your goals are. I would have saved a bunch of money if i went straight for the real mods rather than doing all the small stuff along the way first.

i agree with the above post. Figure out what you want power wise before you end up spending double the time and double the money doing things multiple times.
