Wow that's a significant reduction in mileage! I'm really on the fence about doing this upgrade, I will have almost $3K in the parts/labor/tune to do this.
Appreciate all the feedback guys! Now you all have me thinking about staying with my 2.3 Whip and going E85. Supposedly we are getting more stations in my area to carry it. Although, no one has answered my question about gas mileage on E85 compared to 93?
I'm taking notes guys, thanks for the responses! I talked to a local Cobra owner who told me the "Sheetz" gas stations in my area are going to all be adding E85 soon so now you guys have me reconsidering going to E85! What does this do to your milage, I've heard you use twice as much fuel as...
I can but it's not common. I talked to my tuner and he didn't recommend when I told him i wanted to run both E85 and 93. So I'm thinking if I can run the bigger blower w/my current fuel system then it would be a relatively inexpensive mod per dollar (after selling my 2.3).
I'm kicking around the idea of upgrading from my current Whipple 2.3 to the new Gen 3 Whipple 2.9? What would I need in supporting mods, to make this work? See signature below for current set up. What kind of HP/TQ numbers are possible on the new 2.9?
thanks for feedback
I like the sound of a chambered muff, running Flow Super 44s with Pypes O/R H, like the sound except for mid range acceleration. I thinking about trying the MAC muffs to see if I like better? Is there anyplace besides MAC that sells just the FlowPath Muffs?
Lol, I totally disagree with the guy that said Flows "don't have proper sound on a Terminator"! Flows have a signature classic muscle car sound, no matter what V8 vehicle they are on! I love the sound of a "chambered" muffler, Flowmaster being my favorite.
As far as diff between the 40s and...
I am also interested in Magna Pack mufflers but have heard some guys say they are too short for direct fit and others say its a direct fit without welding or using extensions? I want a direct fit muffler that I can use band clamps to install.
I had a Mac PC with my Flowmaster Super 40s, loved the sound but the pro chamber hung too low, after I lowered my car I went with Pypes O/R H-pipe w/Flowmaster Super 44s and I got the clearance I need and the mid pipe is all stainless and appears well made but I don't like the sound during mid...
Comp04svt - awesome looking set up! I am looking to change my mid pipe but I'm out of the loop who is ARH? Link? I currently have the Pypes O/R H-Pipe with FlowMaster Super 44s and I'm not liking the sound. Had a Mac PC and loved the sound but need more ground clearance so I got the Pypes...
I currently have and Off Road Mac ProChamber, I really like this pipe but I want to lower my car and the PC scrapes the lip of my garage when pulling in. My driveway inclines up and then is obviously level in the garage, so the exhaust just barely scraps when pulling in now and I'm still at the...
I bought my Cobra new in 2003, have loved and enjoyed it for years but I'm older now and my life has changed. When I bought the car I was newly married w/no kids and more free time. I was extremely passionate about my car for years, adding mods each year, further customizing my ride. I've...
I am thinking about tinting my daily driver, 2013 VW GTI, and I went to a shop today and this place uses "Johnson Window Films"? I have never heard of this brand, is it any good? I have been using "Lumar" tint for years with great success but my usual tint shop is "in between" on technicians...
I'm in the process of winterizing my Cobra and for the first time ever I want to put a car cover on my car while she sleeps in the garage for the winter. What brand of car cover do you guys recommend? Links, opinions, prices etc...
thanks fellas,

Hey fellas i'm wanting to put my Cobra on wheel dollies for the winter and move it around in my garage to create more room. I have been looking a wheel dollies and my question is I have 10.5 in rear wheels with 315s on them and the wheel dollies I've looked at say they will support a 10' wide...
I've got the itch to play off road and I was looking at quads and then a friend turned me on to the Polaris Razors! I've owned dirt bikes and ridden quads and I love them all but these Razors are the most fun i've ever had off road! I drove the Razor 900XP on Sunday and I can't quit thinking...
I currently have the MAC O/R Prochamber and love the sound but it seems to hang a little low and I want to lower my Cobra so I think I'm going to replace it with a regular O/R H-pipe. I'm leaning towards the 2.5 O/R Mac Hpipe, do any of you have experience with this pipe? Sound clips? What...
Hey guys getting ready to order some new mufflers and I need to know the diameter for the inlet/outlets of the muffs. I'm running an O/R ProChamber and MagnaFLow Catback right now. I'm thinking that both are 2.5 inch in diameter but i'm not sure. Feedback is appreciated.
thank you
I'm getting ready to finally lower my Cobra and I'm scraping my FM Super 40 muffs already when pulling into my garage. I am going to get FM Super 44s which are 1 inch smaller than my Super 40s so that will probably take care of the muffs scraping but the O/R PC hangs pretty low as well. Is...
I'm wanting to lower my car (finally). I'm thinking about going with H&R Race Springs but I also want to upgrade to 18" rims. My question is since I'm going with a rim that is an inch taller that my stock 17" rims will this offset the ride height change from the lowering springs? I really...
I can't find where to buy the timeless 18" AFS Cobra Replica Wheels? I want 18x10.5 rears 18x9 front wheels. If I wanted to buy them right now where would I find them? Post a pic if your rocking these wheels. Thanks
