Re: Ford Racing catback...anyone using it?

Only problem is I've not heard from many folks who use it.

Ford says the system they have is for the '01 Cobra, but have heard it fits well on the '03. Has anybody had problems with fitment? Does it produce the same power as bassani, and the like? Is $700 a fair price for the system?

Thanks,

Here's the link to the description on Ford Racings' website:

I am using the FR500 catback with the Magnaflow X/cats. I do have a slight fitment issue in the fact that it sits about an inch lower on the '03 compared to the '01 but the tips are in the exact same position. I am having the install shop look at it in the morning. Compared to the Magnaflow catback I lost 3rwhp and 6rwtq on the dyno. I cannot tell it on the street. The sound from the system is a bit deeper than stock but retains the stock sound levels inside the car except at WOT where it is a bit louder. It is also a little louder with the X-pipe than the stock H pipe. A good price would be $599 plus shipping/tax.
