The '05 Project

[cobra_4]

First round of parts came in. Only thing I've got put on so far is the shorty antenna and the silver horse racing rear honeycomb panel. Tomorrow the Steeda Tri-ax is going in along with the Pypes Muffler deletes. Then hopefully next week the hood stripe, CDC chin spoiler, and headlight splittlers will go on.

Got the new pypes put on today. Its the Pypes muffler delete system. I love the way it sounds did the same thing on the old ladies car. For the money you can't beat it. I also installed new headlight and fog light bulbs, the headlight splitters, and a steeda shifter but I didn't get a chance to take pictures of those yet.

I also have the pypes muffler delete... You can't beat the sound you get from them for that price.

I think I'm going to change mine soon because I have MAC LT's waiting to go on my car and I think it might be a little to loud with muffler deletes.

Congrats on your progress so far.

Do you have any pictures of the rear panel from a further distance?

And how do you like the Tri-ax? I just ordered a MGW so I'm excited to get that thing on my car.

Ill take some more pictures of it today. Im not a fan of the triax. You have to put too much effort into going into first and too much effort into going into second. I wish I would have either tried an MGW or just spent the money for what I really wanted a roush shifter and handle.

I can +1 on the TriAx, it came on my car, I'm not a big fan of it, its difficult to get into first + second gear sometimes. I'm switching to MGW ASAP. Also, my shifter squeaks really loud going from 3rd to 4th.

Is a shifter even worth putting in? How hard is the install? And the stock shifter really isn't that bad is it?

Glad Im not the only one!!!

No the stock shifter isn't that bad. I just wanted something with a shorter throw.

I won't mess with it then when I get one. I'll put the money else where!

Good call. If anything buy you a nice knob or something and leave the rest alone.

I like the black hurst ball. I actually like the look of the stock shift knob lol. I think my first few mods are going to be JLT/SCT X3 tuner, o/r x pipe, 4.30 FRPP and DR's to hook. Hoping that will get me knocking on 12's door in good air (i'm at sea level)
