96-98 Cobra

KWClutch · 06-18-2008, 01:29 PM

I'm an ex Lightning owner and I've been wanting to get a Cobra. I've been doing the research and I love the 96-98 Cobras. I've been looking at purchasing one and I dont know a lot about them. I like making educated decisions and wanted to see what you guys thought about them and anything I should look for. Thanks for your time and input!

I got a 98 cobra. Pretty much all stock. I love it. Few minor problems, but nothing serious.

Sounds like a good deal! Congratulations on your find!!

Good stuff, If you want to go fast, get some gears, exhaust(non flowmaster) and tires and your golden

KWClutch · 06-23-2008, 09:11 AM

What kinda gears and exhaust do you recommend? Also I want to get a shifter and CAI. What do you guys do you think are the best brands for those?

timpryor · 06-23-2008, 06:18 PM

4.10's or 4.30's, Long Tubes, mid &catback(non flows), MGW shifter & JLT CAI

311-420 · 06-29-2008, 04:01 PM

4.10s or 4.30s atleast. longtubes give about 10rwhp all the way across the rpm range, and midpipe and catback are about the same, 10-15rwhp each. gears are the biggest for NA 4v cars though.

exhaust should always be a preference to what sounds good to you. i love my new flowmaster super 44s with an o/r x pipe. if i had 1k dollars, id be having longtubes installed.(probably mac or bbk, they are reasonably priced fit well and yield the same as kooks, bassani or hooker.)

my steeda tri-ax on my 3650 rocks. other than the steeda tri-ax, i have to recommend roush. best shifter i ever had was in my 02 360r. never once missed a shift, never.

timpryor · 06-29-2008, 04:19 PM

yeah i'll agree with 311-420 if i could go back and do it again i'd get a roush shifter except they don' make them for the T45

311-420 · 06-29-2008, 04:28 PM

jegs sent me their catalog with the muffs that i ordered and i was surprised to find roush cai kits and shifters for mustangs. i have never been able to find these before. im now considering a roush cai, only because of the roush quality i had before. they are an exceptional company!
