I had the same problem with my Magnaflow H-pipe. The sound in my case was the result of a chunk of the ceramic guts of the catalytic converter that had broken loose and was rolling around. That is why when you let off the gas you hear the noise... the pressure of the exhaust holds it in place...

Anyone know if Cj Pony Parts is doing the cruise to Carlisle this weekend... I figured it was a given as last years event was a good one IMO, but the website doesn't have any info. Anyone know whats up?

If your engine is burning mad amounts of oil at high RPM, it's probably bad oil rings. Worn valve seals will leak all the time, but not THAT much. Bad oil rings will leak a lot worse when the engine is under heavy load. I could be totally off base, but it's an idea anyways. Look fown into the...

There's really only 3 ways oil can get in there... 1. Bad seal on intake. 2. Valve seals. 3. Excess oil in the combustion chamber. If you've checked the first two then option 3 may be your culprit. Any blue smoke in the exhaust? Check the compression on that cylinder. From the pic, it...

I know this isn't a mustang, but I need help... My daily driver '88 Cougar with the 3.8 V-6 is giving me fits. It has the nasty habit of dying out at seemingly random times. You can be driving along no problem... with good power and mileage and everything and then BAM it just shuts right off...

Your car is also grounded at the two small bolts that run into the top of the radiator support on the driver's side just behind the headlight. I had trouble with mine there and it was causing erratic guages and popping through the stereo.

You guys are missing an obvious one here... The simplest answer tends to be the correct one, so about the thermostat? It's probably gone bad and isnt allowing coolant to circulate. Very cheap and simple to fix. That'd be my first guess. The radiator isn't your problem. That is, as long as...

RUN HIM! If he's so fast why does he want to run from a roll??? That's LAME. In fact, that's down right ricey! Tell him if he only races for money then he has to race like a MAN from a dead stop. I do agree that you should remove as much weight as possible... but leave the interior intact...

That's your first problem! Seriously though, these cars are now 10 years old. They're going to have some issues. It's part of the game. If you're not the kinda guy that likes to get dirty and fix stuff, maybe it's not for you. Just remember, no one is going to stop what they're doing to...

Man, I have three words that will make it all better.... FACTORY FIVE RACING! You're totally set to build a badass Cobra roadster!

This is incorrect. The spark likes to jump from a corner, the way lightning likes to find sharp edges too... (if you notice it always hits the corner of a building if it does not have a lightning rod) What will help is cutting the electrode back to reveal more of the spark. OOOOO O...

I can tell you this... he is sure! :owned: Someone already mentioned the trunklid. That reminds me.... I gotta snag an extra trunk lid before someone rear ends my car and they're not available anymore!

Don't forget the oil cooler, a specific master cylinder, and a specific serpentine belt because of the underdrive pulleys. And good luck to the racer with a stock GT and gears. My neighbor has a '94 GT with 3.73s and I will walk him all day long.

1ST thing: Get a Pro 5.0 shifter! It makes the drive so much more enjoyable! Money well spent!

Nice cars and all.... love spongebob, but Shouldn't your girls have made their own cars? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt the point of the race that kids learn some mechanical skills? Cuz, really, you'd be winning best of show. Twice. This isnt a flame, I'm just curious.

Theyre the same. Mine came with both sets of hangers.

I have a Magnaflow catted H. Sounds fantastic. I prefer the deeper tone of an H.

I say there was definitely a third person driving the car. I have never been in ANY car that would track that straight that long. It aint gonna happen. Even the tiniest variation in the road surface would make the car drift out of the lane. That being said, that's a pretty ballzy thing to do in...

I removed my maf post and had no trouble at all. Perhaps this is less of an issue on a Cobra than on a GT?
