venom Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Just got home with a new 2008 Coupe (Torch/ Wht Stripe) Waited for 4 years for this one after I sold my '03. It was built on 2/14/08 so hopefully I avoided the bad transmissions? I have to get an offroad-X and Catback on this thing. It needs to really growl. Stainless Works dealers, contact me ASAP! Does anybody know if they make mil eliminators for our setup? I had a pair on my '03 so the rear 02s wouldn't throw codes. I don't want to flash a tune just to shut them off. Now to clean the bugs off the front end. What a mess! Didn't think 170 miles would get so dirty but I guess it's time up here in Illinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know because I had an 03 Cobra too and changing the exhaust on the GT500 did not effect mine at all! Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not I believe it will throw a check engine light (code) which will affect performance when running the X-Pipe w/o cats.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not I believe it will throw a check engine light (code) which will affect performance when running the X-Pipe w/o cats.. Yes, I'm running Cats, however NOT stock Cats! Just for your info it will NOT make a difference without Cats or a good high performance Cats, however with no Cats in my opinion you are looking for trouble unless you are running the car at the track only NOT street. And yes it will affect check engine light code without Cats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford blue blood Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Congrats venom! :happy feet: Correct to assume you are from the Blue Oval boards? Me too. Loved the 03 Cobra but this car is so much more it is almost apples and oranges when talking about them. I am still pinching myself to be sure this is not a dream after lusting and saving for four years! And don't listen to the rest red is the fastest color and the white stripes make it even faster! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venom Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 Ford Blue. Yep. I'm a member of BlueOval forums and Thanks. I do agree, this car is so different and so much better in so many regards. No disrespect to current TERMINATOR owners meant. O1 Snake, I'm in Crystal Lake, not too far from St. Charles. Theres a gathering at Victor Ford in Wauconda in July sometime. Maybe we could meet up there sometime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
