Cat,

Congrats on the purchase, what color did you get? I bought mine in August of 2004 and I really like it, I got the torch red. I put on a Bassani cat back system and I really like the sound. Last Friday I picked up a BBK x-pipe but it really didn't sound good when the engine was under load at RPM's above 2700. It sounded like marbles or rocks where in the exhaust. Are you looking at getting just a cat back system or replacing the whole exhaust?

Have fun!

You might want to look at a CAI (Cold Air Intake) I have the K&N FIPK II, very easy to install and it gives around 30 more horses. It's a nice power increase for under $200.00.

Talk to you later.

Sincerely,

Jeff

SLP, SLP, SLP

I saw an 04 cobra go from 369hp stock to 419hp just from changing the cat back to SLP, and it sounded awesome. I would never had believed him if he told me he gained 50horses from changing the cat back alone, but I saw it with my own eyes. These cars are amazing when you let them breath a little.

I really didn't like the sound of my 04 cobra when I first got it. Two weeks later I installed SLP exhaust and I love it. When I get the money i'll probably get SLP headers and x-pipes w/ cats. SLP all the way. Great sound.

JLT Cold Air, Borla Stingers Exhaust, you should do some research on these items, oh and btw welcome to the club

I have a UPR X pipe and flowmaster muffers. It is very loud but a little raspy. I might switch to a Magnaflow catback soon. The car sounds great with any exhaust.
