Only if you think the JLT looks better.
Not worth switching. Keep what you have.
Not sure what your mods are but things that can make the car really wake up are .
1. Exhaust, catless mid pipe with your choice of catback.
2. Intake which you already have.
3. Gears 410s-430s ford racing gears
4. A good tune to maximize your parts
5. Long tube headers if you dont have to deal with emissions issues.

thanks getting all that but the long tubes ($2000 installed) not worth it IMHO for the gain received.
Cold air intake gains you a whole lot of nothing

Going with 4.10s?
Alone the gains arent that great but with all else above and a tune there is some good gain to have. But yes the price plus install is a costly option. Which is why i stated it last.
3:73
As stated i wouldn't go less than 410s either. Unless you plan to add a power adder. The 99/01 cobras have a upper Rpm power band.
Agreed. I went with a stock airbox when I did my 4V swap. Cheap, is a true fender draw cold air, works as well or better than any aftermarket setup.
Agreed x3. 3.73s are a tweener gear for a street car. Just get 4.10s and call it good, you turn like 150 or 200 rpm higher on the highway. Oh no.
I’m honestly thinking about going sra and 4.56

I almost went 4.56 n my 98, but went with 4.30
Going back to 3.27 or 3.55 over the winter though. Turbo install a new the works
I thought 4.10s were great when NA but wish I had gone with 3.73's now that I have a centri. Lots of punch but wish I didn't have to shift quite so quickly and a couple hundred rpm less on the highway would be nice.
Good thing you never got a 03/04 cobra then. Might be too much car.
K&N drop in in the stock airbox... everything else intake-wise is a waste of money.
I went with 3:73s and it is a waste, I would go with the 4;10 if you are more performance/race minded and not street-abiltiy. My 3;73s put me in no mans land with RPM and speed, on the street no matter what gear the 3;73 just wasnt right. If you want some street-ability I would go no more than 3:55. For me Im going back to the stock 3:27s.
I went with the JTL new generation cai and it did make a small but noticeable difference over the stock with a K&N. The JTL new generation is a true cold air.

That's a waste of money too. You're not going to gain shit from a K&N over a clean paper filter and the paper filter does a better job actually filtering plus no issue with fouling any sensors with oil.
Having to either lug the car or run at a higher RPM than you want with 3.73s sucks. And yeah tbth the stock 3.27s are a great cruising gear. I'm not trying to race anyone out here where I am (there is 0 competition for me in Spain anyway except for like the 2 or 3 other American sports cars stationed here) and speed limits on the highways here are merely suggestions. Speed limit is around 70-75mph (120kph) anyway and I routinely do 90-100 keeping up with traffic in the left lane.
