2001 Cobra Major Build Thread

Recommended Posts

Had a problem with the intake manifold's port n idle with my SBTB so had to buy another one non-ported and had some "extra" custom mods done to it first before polishing this time and then a twin blade TB so no idle issues 

 

Bought just the bare lid off of one of the forums.

Had is "modified". A TRUE EGR delete and removal of all the sensor mounting tabs n crap!

Ah ok cool. Yea I try to keep my same user name on every forum and business name where Im authorized.

 


Need to get the Cobra up and running for Monday to start DDing it again as life is way too hard car pooling. Been doing it for months and its just too hard.

 

Friend is coming over to help with this quick swap again as my back went out earlier this week from taking the borrowed mach 1 lid off to give back to the shop.

And some videos!!! Idling at just over 1,000 rpms. Soon as its broken in and dyno tuned it will be around 800

 

With camera

 

 

 

 

With cellphone (bit of a better sound)

 

 

 

I had to install some resonators/baffles to quiet it down a bit so I dont get pulled over in an instant and car impounded lol

Video of that coming up soon.

Thanks! Nope, still need about 800 more miles. I wasnt driving it because it was just insanely loud and would be at high risk for impound if I got pulled over. Installed resonators the other say and sounds borderline.

LOL. Took it to drop off some stuff n of course I pass by a cop on the way back but seen him so coasted it by him. Seems like every single time I drive it I pass at least 1-5 cops.

Too much money invested in the build to let them impound it and hope it doesnt get crushed or stripped

 

I need a DD bad!

They impound for sound????

(Simple no will suffice Lol no need to spill any possible criminal history)

No/Yes. You can get just a simple fix it ticket for loudness but if your loudness is due to not having C.A.R.B. legal parts then yes. Judgement call on the officer if hes cool or a prick. Im not saying which I have, just the CA facts lol

It sounds the same as far as its tone but the volume is turned down by about 25% or so I'd say

 

CA has great weather, sucky trafic all hours of every day of the week but the smog and motor vehicle laws totally blow!

Im thinking of moving one of these years soon to Vegas. Much less strict smog laws and an A- rating for small businesses. CA has a F currently.

then I can go all out and WOT on the streets without a worry lol
