    Exhaust help needed(Magnaflow vs Bassani)

    I would like some opinions on which exhaust/mufflers to install. I am trying to keep the exhaust somewhat "tame" and avoid the louder setups. I'm also trying to get away from the chambered sound. I currently have a Bassani O/R X with stock manifolds and catback. I have narrowed it down to...

    Opinions needed..

    The panel between my windshield and convertible top had a bunch of chips and was starting to look pretty damn bad. I thought I'd try to plasti dip it to improve the looks a bit and give it the "black roof" look that some people do with their hard tops. What do you think? I can peel it off...

    Exhaust advice - muffler only?

    After new seats, I'm looking to change my exhaust a bit. I have a o/r bassani X pipe with stock(I think) catback. I want to save some $$ and replace only the mufflers. I don't want chambered like flowmaster. What are my options? I like the sound of sss adrenalines from Cobrahuck in the...

    "Memorabilia"

    Ever since high school, I've loved sn95 Cobras. Now that I have one, I've always kept my eye out for anything that I can get that's related to the car. I recently bout a 1998 svt poster for the garage and 1996 Mustang Cobra dealership brochure. Both were in new condition. It's cool to read...

    Help me pick my seats!

    I'm about to order some TMI 03-04 cobra seats for my CW vert with black interior. I'm going to do black on dark charcoal. The question is, do I go custom with white stitching or standard black stitching. I got the white stitching idea from a terminator owner. Help me pick, white or...

    I'd like to replace my oem fog bulbs with a yellow/Amber pair. I want to keep the stock housing for now, what are some good bulbs to get. Are all halogens acceptable/don't get too hot?

    Are 03-04 Cobra Seats worth it?

    There is a set available in the area and I might pull the trigger. Are they worth it? Is the bolster support any better with them? I've always wanted them but spending 1K on used seats is a bit steep if they will feel the same. Those who have made the switch, are you glad you did?

    Thoughts on 2001 seats?

    There's a local part out on a 2001 cobra with parchment seats. They need some cleaning up and I may be able to get them on the cheap. Anyone install these in their SN-95? How are the side bolsters? Better than stock?

    Help-hesitation under load

    My 1996 Cobra has 91k miles. On the way home, it started sputtering/hesitating during acceleration, mainly in gears 2-5. I also noticed the voltage meter on the car a little to the left(R in NORMAL), but it went back up and stayed. I made it home and did a basic check. It revs fine when...

    Build it or wait...opinions

    So I am at the point where my Cobra will soon be a toy/weekend warrior due to a 3rd child on the way. I am at the point where I have sunk a ton into my 96 vert and adding power is next. I have no intentions of winning races. All I want is a grin on my face and the butt dyno to have some...

    Idle problem when raining

    My 96 has been having problems when raining, it struggles at idle, recovers, then repeats several times. It doesn't die but it bogs down quite a bit. No other idling problems during normal/dry conditions. Any ideas?

    SN-95 Bluetooth Question

    For those of you with Bluetooth capable receivers,where did you install the external mic? Is there a better spot to use on a convertible? I doubt I could carry on a conversation on the phone but would like to use it as much as possible.

    96-98 OEM Wheels vs Chrome 95 Rs

    I bought my 1996 vert 2 years ago and the previous owner had already put in a set of chrome 95 R replicas on it. A few local ads have popped up where I think I could get good set of stockers to put on. I've always been a fan of the stock look. I've also seen either bullits or cobra Rs on every...

    Help with battery/alternator/starter diagnosis

    About a month ago, my battery died on me after gradually wearing down. It died at a gas station and I started it by popping the clutch. It ran fine with a completely dead battery(per the gadget that was hooked up to it) for 15-20 minutes. This tells me that my alternator was fine based on it...

    Wheel Balance Question

    My question is, are our wheels supposed to be balanced "lug centric" or "hub centric"? The lazy ntb tire shop that I use always seems to balance them hub centric. They looked at me funny when I asked them this. I've been told it's just part of owning a convertible, good ole cowl shake. So...

    Weird mpg fluctuations

    I recently updated my tune with an email tune from Don LaSota about 2 months ago. Before the tune and up to about 4 tanks of gas ago, I couldn't get better than 15.5-16 mpg. The last 3 tanks have averaged 19>15.4>18.5. It's been varying before that but I didn't think much of it. My...

    Hard wired radar detector

    Do any of you have radar detectors hard wired? If so, where did you mount your radar detector and what did you connect the power to? Mine sits on my dash between the gauge cluster and clock, and I use the cigarette power adapter. The connection keeps coming loose and causing the radar...

    How long until the IMRCs go out?

    I've been pulling a imrc stuck closed on the left bank for about a month now. I've cleared it and driven a couple of weeks without any dtcs. Now the code has popped up twice this weekend. Any chance it's just gunked up or do I need to be looking towards deletes? I'm trying to slow down with...
