2003 Aniv Terminator (4k mi) - Thoughts on Mods?

[BtownB]

I have coilovers and really like them. I mostly wanted them so I could put the ride height right where I want it. My car came with H&R Race springs and they were a good set up.

I like your setup...

I like your setup...

That's ominous. I'm trying to think of the last time I posted a pic.

I'm running Maximum Motorsports set up on my car.

Going with the H&R Race springs...wanted to get some feedback on shocks/struts

Great choice on the H&R Race springs. I have the same in my vert. I think your shocks and struts would be fine still!? I’m still running my original Bilsteins at 27K miles. No issues yet..

Gotta get some exhaust on it quick...it has to be the quietest 03 Cobra in the land lol

 

[Black02GT]

I don't think Koni would be an upgrade over Bilsteins. There are better for drag setups but for a street car don't remember too many with better feed back over Bilstein over the years. Plus keep the stock look.

Bassani X and Borla stingers is the way to go

Rasp is good.

Rasp is good.

I guess if that's what you are into.

I prefer H <-> chambered sound.

OP should check out some sound clips to decide what is good for them, instead of picking someone else's preference.

The two main choices are:
H - Chambered mufflers - ie "classic type muscle car sound.
or
X - straight though mufflers - raspy, euro-import type sound.

I went back and forth on my last mustang. I always ended up with the X pipe and straight though mufflers. It’s all preference. I haven’t heard a bad sounding cobra so…can’t go wrong either way.

I was positive I was gonna to go with stingers but after listening to 1000 clips i think I'm gonna go all Bassani for now

I don't dislike any of them...just think for my application a hair quieter will do the trick...if I don't like it I'll swap it out

Yep. Exhaust is always preferential. You can’t care what other people think. If you like the sound, than keep it. Who cares what we say.

That’s my set up too

I'm a big fan of bassani mid lengths bassani x pipe and bassani cat back if you're staying 2.5" and kooks 1 7/8" x 3" collector, 3" x pipe, and bassani 3" cat back for going full 3"
