Newbie Saying Hi

I'm new to the board and i just wanted to say what up. I just traded my 1999 Gt in last week and am glad to get rid of that slow Ford. I traded her for a real slow car a 2003 Cobra. I was wondering if any body on the board with an 03-04 cobra can give me any suggestions on what kind of parts worked for you.

Thanks.

Whassup, Greg.

I would start out with a cold-air kit. They usually give those cars a decent bump in power.

Catback + cold air intake netted me about 45 - 50 rwhp (most stock '03s were dynoing around 350 at Walker Dyno Tune, mine made 400.4 with a catback and CAI). The stock exhaust and intake are REALLY restrictive on these cars. Sub frame connectors were one of the best mods I've done as well.

Welcome to the site Greg.

Subframes on any mustang, especially a vert. They just make the car feel solid all around. Not really a power mod, but a great one none the less. Hard to explain how well they work untill you have them installed on your car.

Re: Newbie Saying Hi
