Hey Guys, I have a 99 cobra with Jet chip and an intake. I was wodering if I were to buy a 3" cat back, take off the mufflers and put straight pipes on. would that help me with more performance then a cat back w/mufflers? or should i leave them on? if you are wondering do i care about the sound? police? NO. Don't give a hoot an hell about those PO PO's. Thanks

Straight Pipes??

One of the magazines just did a dyno on mufflers and for S&G's, they tried it with just the h-pipe attached. It only gave it I think 3 more horse power. SO not really worth the aggravation of being pulled over every 10 minutes if you ask me. Plus your teeth won't rattle out either!

Well my dad owns a body shop, he got it direct from the Ford dealer for under $180. Yes I do have the cats on there, but I live where they don't do smog testing so I don't know if it would pass or not, but I'm sure it would.
Bumper
You can get a Cobra bumper at Bumpers.com for about 160 usd - but it will need to be painted. Go to a dealership and have them match the paint - do not let them paint anything other than the bumper -
I am doing this soon..

be advised...
bumpers.com sells blemished, used, scracthed, and take-ff bumpers. That's why they are cheap.
Definitely worth it if you don't mind a slight blemish. Personally, I am WAY to anal to go this route. LOL!

True on bumpers.com are issues at time - but if you buy a preped one then paint - much less risk.. They do not have Rio Red as it was not offered in 2000 or 2001
But if ford is selling for 180 - that is damn cheap.
