What is the worst product you have ever purchased for your 03/04 Cobra? It can include anything drivetrain, cosmetics, car covers,car care etc...

My worst purchase was a Steeda Tri-ax. It's loud and notchy, too short for everyday driving, and I havn't been able to powershift since I purchased it.:fm:

My second worst purchase was a MOMO shift knob, it looked stupid inside the cobra and it cost me over $100, I ended up putting it on some cheap beater I sold.:lol1:

I personally like my tri-ax, Rarely miss a shift and like the shortness of it. My worst purchase was my GKN Axles that I can't find a replacement outer joint for.

slp catted x pipe, the cats on it scraped on everything even before I was lowered whoever designed it needs to be fired. Here's a pic with the car lowered, probably an inch of clearance, and thats after the cats were flattened on the bottom from scraping on everything

I like my bassani catback. the quality is great and the sounds great IMO as well. But everyone has their own opinions.

please explain this one more....

that seems like a good mod, and its not that expensive compared to the purchase of a new blower

I can agree with the ported blower. The HP claims were right on. Just looking for more HP. Going from 450ish (with CPIE) to 500HP (with ported everything) was not a huge difference expect for $800 hole in the saving's account. Going from 450ish to 600 is a difference and to me a great "holy crap" worth the money difference. It not the worst product, which you are asking for. It's more of a money/gain issue and not a product rather a service. Different strokes for different folks.

So far, I haven't really had a bad product I didn't like honestly.

I usually research a ton before I purchase something.

My brembo pads came with the previous cobra I had. The stopping quality was incredible. But, I sounded like a school bus. Probably my fault though for not correctly matching pads and rotors or something. I wouldn't buy them again unless I did autocross.

I regret my MGW shifter. For the money I spent on it I would of been better off and just as happy just keeping the Steeda that I had in the car. I kept hearing everybody rant and rave about how great the MGW is so I put it in. To say the least I was very disappointed with it. I can barley feel any difference between the Tri ax and the MGW.

+1 I am not a huge fan of the MGW either, even though I have it. I just dont want to spend anymore money.
