You're 18? The car is already fast enough dude... It flies. Get some rims and ground effects instead. Maybe some subs.
Thats what my dad is saying lol. The car is pretty quick. im not saying im god or anything but i can handle a car pretty well. ive been driving my parents srt8 i race quads im used to speed. But its not all about experience. I just Know not to be stupid and risk my life and others on the road. To be honest ive had this car for about a month and have not been over 75 mph .Those are some good ideas but since i have a truck ,the will turn into a drag car or weekend use car only
turn a ratty car into a race car, not a nice cobra
Yeah, like everyone else says just throw on bolt-ons. Maybe even a bottle.
boltons and 100 shot sounds good
Ground effects? So help me if you put Neon lights in the undercarriage SVT Forums will disown you....Ok maybe just me but please do not rice out a Cobra!
Rims-cool
Subs-Kinda cool
Ground effects-Killed on site by other Cobra owners
Sell the cobra and go by an Eclipse if you want ground effects.
Parts list for you
1-CAI
2-Tune
3-3.73/4.10 Gears
4-Axleback
5-Headers and catted X
6-Intake
7-Underdrive PulliesS-ok if going Turbo but not if using a S/C
Likely get 320+RWHP and high 12's? in 1/4.
If going S/c/blower route do now because the more miles you place on engine the more potential to blow it up with worn parts.

Learn to drive the car now cause its fast as is, fast enough to hurt feelings. Then when you get bored, braces, bushings, and gears and its a new car. I just got 4.30's and its fun.....to say the least.
Oh now I just saw this..........why in the world do you want to add power if you havent driven the car to its potential yet? Shit stock gears these cars go 70 in 2nd.
havent had the chance and where i live its 45 mph congested area and cops sit on backroads all the time..ive driven faster cars and hit 140s..i like torque..
thanks.. i just ordered new rotors, pads, spec 2 clutch, jlt CAI, underdrive pullies. what kind of headers should i get? im gonna get a bassani catted x pipe and borla stinger catback exhaust.
I have Kooks but some times you run into problems if you don't match headers and x pipes. Definately an issue with long tubes but I think you can mix and match with Shorties. I don't think there are a lot of shorties for 99/01....JBA and Ford racing come to mind.
Just looked and Bassani has some headers to match your X but double check me.....bassani is a good name IMO. When switch is done post a vid with sound of your set-up.
if your thinking 1/4 mi then the first thing you should do is ditch that flimsy IRS.
build up the car first, then the motor. you'd be pissed if right after you spend an ass ton of money building up the motor and putting a blower on the car and then the trans or rear say good buy first time at the track or you deside to beat on it. and you will beat on it.

You must get your crossover from the same manufacture as the longtubes. They all package them differently.
i don't have a problem with mine. i've looked at my pypes and a MAC x pipe and there pretty much the same.
Some are close and some may even fit, but unless you find someone, you in this case, who has two different ones and you can see them fit, it's quite an exspensive chance to take. Kooks are every bit as good, and probably better, than Bassani, so why not get the Kooks pipe to match?
good point. but this thread is to help an 18 yr old kid. unless he's building his car on daddy's dime, some headders come with a 1k+ price tag.
i have mac long tubes, they fit great, look good and are kinder on the walet.
i got the x pipe used. a buddy of mine has a mach1 that he's useing the same headders and a mac x pipe. so i matched up the two mid pipes and they'er damn near the same. i'm just giveing my 2 cents and giving the kid a few options.
i got my whole exaust kit for under 1k. headders, x pipe, and cat back.
