I've been told that the majority of people who have had magnaflow catbacks have replaced them with something else. I haven't had any problems with mine, on for about a year now. Is there something inherently wrong with the magnaflow design that is causing folks to dump them? Just curious...

I'm rolling up on 7K miles and am getting ready for my next oil change (1 using Ford oil at 1,000 and 3,000; Amsoil 5W20 at 5,000) It's been a few months since I've been able to drive the car so I figure that's a good reason to do the change. Is there a requirement for chasis lube? I'm a...

I did my first oil change at home today...third overall. I had the dealer do the first two (1000, 3000) waiting to hit 5000 so I could put in the Amsoil (5W20). Got my Rhino ramps, drove it up, drained the oil, popped the filter and put the new stuff on/in. The oil filter makes a mess, but...

Is the Fram Sure Drain any good? Anyone ever used one? Seems like it would help out with oil changes. Is it worth the $12?

Holy giant filter! I just put the 12 inch powerstack on. It's big, but seems like it was designed for the car, or the car was designed for it. Perfect fit! 1/4 inch longer and I would've been screwed. I took it for a quick spin (started raining) and the supercharger is waaaaay louder...

Quick question...I got my 12" Powerstack today (it's huge) and before I put it on, I want to make sure I don't do anything dumb. First, do I need to put some silicone (or something) on the gasket between the MAF and the Powerstack adaptor? Second, do I need to oil it prior to first install (if...

There’s been a lot of posts recently about having a warranty voided. I’ve seen some great information posted by some, but it can get buried in the "story" being told. I figured I put this here to hopefully serve as a “catch” for warranty knowledge. The first misconception is that a dealer...

I see CAI on lots of things, but the Power Stack is shown as an intake or just as a filter. I can see how something in the fenderwell is a CAI (like Densecharger) and I know Steeda has a CAI, but it's not in the fenderwell. What makes the thing a CAI versus an intake or filter? I assume it...

I was reading in another thread how to make the digital odometer do other stuff (push and hold the trip odometer button until the digital readout displays "test" while starting). I did that and now it seems like I can see a lot of stuff going on, but I don't know what all is shown (lots of...

My Maisto Diecast 2003 Cobra (1:18 scale) arrived today. I must say it's pretty sweet. Overall impression...outstanding detail for such a low price. Functional IRS, SVT badging on the engine, etc. It also looks like Maisto has been on the FAQ site because they removed the air filter silencer...

I went out and got the Sylvania Silverstars for the headlights (9007) but the local WalMarche didn't carry the 9005s for the foglights. I knew the yellow foglights wouldn't look right next to the white headlights and then I noticed a set of GE Super Blue 9005s. The box said bright white light...

Quick question...will a 17 x 8 wheel off a 98 or 99 Cobra fit an 03? Seems logical it would and I'm pretty sure it's OK...just want to make sure.

Put it on in about 5 minutes, adjusted it the way I liked it in about 5 more. What a difference! It didn't really shorten the throws, but it definitely shortened the reach to third/fifth. The third/fifth shifts are now at least 6 inches further back. Hopefully that will lessen the missed...

I finally clay barred my car today and what a difference. I was a little skeptical but after reading about all the guys here doing it, I figured it would be worth the effort. It was not nearly as much work as I thought (although I spent about 6 hours with it including wash/clay/wax/detail) but...

I searched and still have questions...I miss third when I'm on it and I need to find a cure. Considering all the shifters (TriAx, Pro 5.0, MGW...) is there really a difference between them? From what I see they all are an improvment over stock, but are any better than others...considering...

Need some help. I found this while installing my catbacks. It's a sticker and was on the backside of the rear valance. At first I thought it was a part number sticker for the valance, but after looking closer I thought it must have more info. I know (from the door panel) that my car's build...

I got the catback on in about an hour and a half today. Not bad for putting it up on jackstands in my garage. Overall, an easy install and the results are awesome. Definitely feel the power, I want to get a CAI (probably Steeda, but not 100% sure) and then I'll put it on the dyno. The...

This is my first post...hanging around, gaining good knowledge. I bought the Cobra back in February and then lived through the worst winter of my life (N. Virginia). Before I get into the question, I have to say this is the most informative Cobra site I've been to (and I think I've hit most)...
