    Anyone sell their 13 or 14 and go to a 03 cobra?

I bought it brand new. It had a whipple and bolt ons. Made 600 to the wheels. I traded the cobra for...

    I bought my used TVS right off of a 2013 Shelby. The guy included the factory air box assembly with the filter off of the 2013. I was wondering how good this unit flows? For now I'm going to run the factory 15lbs pulley off the 13, with a custom tune. I may get a 2.4 pulley down the road. I...
