Damn, both those 03s are hot. I am not a huge fan of the R wing, but it looks good on the blue one.

capnkirk, I don't know about he performance gains, but I am pretty sure the side exit exhaust weighs a fair amount more than a regular exhaust set up.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

capnkirk52, the exhaust on my car is a Roush design manufactured by Magnaflow. Since my car was the first '03 Roush conversion Cobra it was used to prototype the exhaust system. Like all other aftermarket exhaust systems, the Roush side-exit provides gains over stock. I don't know what this particular car made before the Roush guys got a hold of it but after their exhaust was added and before Paul High's Performance mods it dyno'd 385 rwhp. Other than Magnaflow, I believe Spintech, Borla, and Bassani make a side exit system for IRS Cobras; however I'm not sure if they bolt-on the same as the '03/'04 cars.

roushraven, that car is amazing. I am sure you have been asked this hundreds of times, but do you have any pics of your 1000+ horsepower garage? It sounds amazing and I bet it looks even better.

On this particular car the rear wing just works so nicely. Like the 2000 Cobra 'R'. That is one bad looking machine. Very nice! :beer:

Hey Roushraven, what springs did they install? I like your ride height. Or are you using coil-overs?
