1st 1997 Cobra: King Cobra Clutch Kit since the car needed the clutch replaced when I bought it.
Something that wasn't necessary, but I decided to do: MMR Airbox Delete & MMR IMRC Deletes at the same time.

2nd 1997 Cobra: Just boxes of parts waiting to be put on all at once. First thing I purchased this round was 4:56 gears.

I like stock mustangs, but I hate the 4x4 look. My car has been lowered about an inch and it has a cat-back. Other than that its stock. My Oxford White cobra was the same.

Magnaflow catted X and catback within a couple of months after getting the car
Hans Racecraft FLSFC, Agent 47 STB.
Recently added slotted rotors and new pads.

Someday... FTB bushings.

Other than that, the car is stock, down to the paper air filter :-D

I will have owned the car 12 years, next month.. Good Gawd, I still love it.

Exhaust should always be first.

My cobra already came with Bassani catted x and catback, but my GT I had put on spintechs dumped out the side with custom 2.5" (mimicking the roush side exit design) and then just had to attach the roush side tips when I got the body kit installed and painted a year later.

My first mod was my magnaflow CB. I pretty much had my plan laid out before I bought my car. The PI swap w/comp cams was part of the plan. What I didn't plan for was getting married, buying a house, etc. That stuff really put a hold on my modding. Now the plan is to just do it RIGHT and sell my GT to buy a termi.

FLSC's should be first. Can't put power down or expect reasonable handling through a flexible chassis.

Eh I never saw the big deal. Honestly my Cobra came with them already installed and I never noticed a difference in flex over my GT. Didn't even remember I had them until I jacked the car up like "oh that's right I have flsfc's!"
