So I just installed what the message says above:

BBK long tube hears, bassani x-pipe and cat-back and a cold air kit. I have only 180 miles on my silver Cobra. I am going to wait until 500 miles to dyno the car.

I noticed that the alingment is not quite right after this installation (the rod shop that did the install--which does GREAT work, had Tires Plus do the alignment after the installation) I'll have to drive it some more.

I am looking to get about 410 RWHP. I need to put some miles on the car first.

I have read that a few people out there have done this to their exhaust and have been satisfied. After driving the car for a day I can say that the sound is exceptional and the throttle response seems greatly improved. Of course I can't really remember what the car drove like stock, but it seems like a pretty big improvement.

I am quite satisfied.

If anyone has made these same mods, drop me a line. The car really has some presence right now, and again, that throttle response is really something.



:fryem:

I am updating this. The response is excellent. I can't wait to get over 1000 mile so I can really open it up. I think long tube headers are the way to go. Great sound. Great low end reponse.

Fact is, I installed this exhaust stuff so early on that I never had to chance to try stock, but I am not complaining.

One problem I have, however, appears to be a defective clutch, it makes a rattling sound immediately upon engagment. Maybe I am too sensitive to this, but I wonder.

have experienced some rattle and disengagement

problems I think the plastic quadrant is too weak for

the heavier pressure plate. Going to install steeda quadrant

and firewall adjuster. rattle possibly from not complete release

of clutch. parts should be here this weekend we'll see !!!!!!!!

:wtf:
