    I was told Longtubes will make my exhaust QUIETER.

    I was on the corral talking about exhaust combos, and the topic of Longtubes got brought up. Two people with longtubes said it made their exhausts quieter and more mellow at idle and cruising....WTF? One of my friends has a '96 Impala SS with a flowmaster catback, and when he added longtubes, it...

    Does ANYONE sell colored bumper inserts for 96-98 Cobras anymore??

    I bought my red rear inserts about a year ago. I want to change them for white, but NOBODY is selling. On ebay, stangnet partshopper, and across the web its only stainless steel. What happened? Anyone know where I can get some colored vinyl decals? :shrug:

    Ever since I put in 87 octane my 97 snake feels extra slow

    Ever since that ungodly day where I had to put in 87 octane, my car feels like its not 100%. Almost instantly after I filled up with the 87 my check engine light came on. Oddly enough, it turned off about a day later, tank still full of 87. It's been 2 empty tanks since, and both times it was...

    I just took off my catback, and started the car with only an o/r xpipe on......

    OMG O - M - G I just took the catback off and started the car with ONLY the xpipe on. HOLY SHNIKEEZ does it sound amazing. It's like 300 decibels at 2500rpm. It sounds like the scream of satan....OMG this sounds amazing....I wish I had electric cutouts so I could leave it...

    Me vs. Brothas in a Caddy

    I pulled up beside an old baby blue cadillac of some sort by my house at an intersection red light. It was a sedan, definately a V8. It was full of people with the rap music blastin'. The guy in the front seat asked me if my rims were 24's. :rolleyes: :rlaugh: I told him no they were 18's. He...

    Engine shutters and shakes at idle, CEL is on

    Hey guys. I have almost 61k on my '97 Cobra. About 500 miles ago I got a complete check up. I got the oil changed, new plugs, new filters, completely new spark plug wires ($$$) etc. The car was running in tip top shape. All of a sudden today, my check engine light came on. I didnt hear...

    First time running my '97 Cobra at the track tonight (Orlando Speedway)

    I got two runs in tonight. First run was horrible, ran a [email protected] with a 2.4 '60. I had NO time to revv up and get a proper launch, by the time I was staged the light turned green. I spun through second gear, so I let off the gas and shifted at 5500rpm. Obviously this and the fact I was...

    Installed Anderson Powerpipe and Steeda Timing Adjuster, NICE.

    http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?p=4280510#post4280510 For all you snakes, the powerpipe (actually a CAI), new k&n filter, and t/a cost me $310, and soo far it has put a huge :D on my face. The t/a added throttle response, and the intake gives me the high end response. Anyways...

    Lesson Learned: ALWAYS reset your ECU after installing intake mods;what a difference!

    Last friday I had an Anderson powerpipe/k&n (similer in design to JLT) and steeda timing adjuster installed (13*). My car died after a WOT run on the highway and my MIL came on. So, sunday I reset the ECU, and ever since everything has been perfect. No check engine light (hope it stays that...

    Anderson Powerpipe & Steeda Timing Adjuster Installed...impressions and questions

    Today I had a Steeda Timing Adjuster and an Anderson Powerpipe Intake installed along with a K&N air filter. The Anderson pipe is supposedly one of the best becuase it is ceramic coated and doesnt have any real "restrictive" bends. I don't know why they call it a powerpipe since its actually a...

    Ideas I have to make our 96-98 Cobras faster that I never really see mentioned

    Stats on my car are in my sig. I was debating on what I could do next to get the biggest power gains. All I have now is an x-pipe, flows, and gears (I know they give no hp). Anyways, originally I was just going to get a timing adjuster, some pullies and make an intake. I ruled out pullies...

    $300 shipped for extrude honed intake for my 97 Cobra, need opinions!!!

    A good Cobra friend of mine got his hands on a extrude-honed lower intake manifold from a '98 Cobra that has had the CFM flow increase to 310 and comes with new freeze plugs. This lower manifold had 45k miles on it stock, and only 500 after the work done. He said he saw with his own eyes the...

    *VERY* dissapointed with my new FRPP King Cobra clutch

    First clutch replacement was a Spec Stage I. Chatter came not only from the clutch (expected) but THROUGH the pedal, and I could feel a grinding sensation. When I drove it out of the transmission shop, it grabbed/clamped HARD and INSTANTLY. I LOVED it. Around 250 miles of owning that clutch, I...

    X-pipe Design: UPR/VRS/SLP merged pipes vs. Bassani/BBK/Dr. Gas "stamped" X's

    I don't think ive ever heard a thread comparing these different types of X-pipes. But I think there should be, because these pipes seem to have very different designs. The pipes like the UPR just have the two pipes merge together, seems like a pretty simple design, where as the BBK and the like...

    2nd set of $60 Plug-in MIL eliminators have failed. I am officially a disbeliever.

    First, some backround info on my car: 97 Cobra, ~50k miles, recently tuned up. All factory o2 sensors are in perfect working order. Mechanically the car is in good shape. About a month or two ago, I ordered from UPR their offroad X-pipe and a set of those "Dallas" $60 plug-in MIL...
