    A while back I installed a one-touch power down module on the passenger-side window in my '01 GT and now wish to do the same for my '03 Cobra. It was really easy, but I'm just wondering if I can't get the '03 module if the '01 Cobra module would work just as well- I'm assuming, 'Yes'??

    Installed UPR CAI yesterday

    I installed the UPR CAI kit yesterday. I must say it's an excellent product and I'm very pleased with my purchase. It came with a 4" mandrell bent tube, bolts, bigmouth filter and stainless steel heatshield. The install was a piece of cake. Everything fits together real nicely. The only...

    No power from my 03 cobra???

    I just picked mine up today with 14.4 miles on it. It seems to have power but I don't think it pulls as hard as it should. It also feels like the power breaks up at 5k rpm. Any thoughts? I'm not sure if there could be a problem or if it needs time to break in a little more. It was hot today and...
