i don't know what to do ?? ?

here is my WMS setup. I only bought the upper pipe, and the lower pipe. I think the total was $230, or something close to that. They advertise the whole WMS system, including the MAF sensor, which you don't need, as you are not running a supercharger. The bigger MAF sensor is necessary if you are supercharging. So, the cost is slightly higer than the JLT. The one I have is ceramic coated, but they do offer the pipe in black, too. I hope this helps.

nckissfan: thanks man you have helped me alot ... how is your car's performance with stock MAF sensor improved or not???

[nckissfan]

I definitely feel a difference from the stock air box. You are welcome for the help. That is what this club is here for, to share info, and just to be friendly

if you plan on going fI in the future. just get the upper wms pipe and a good filter. thats under 200.

Check out Spectre (www.spectreperformance.com), they sell stuff to custom build your own and it's very cheap. I've used their stuff before and was very pleased w/ it. I never put it on a dyno, but I was more than satisfied. The only part of their system I don't suggest is the filter. Their filters are junk, but the rest of their stuff is pretty good and really cheap. Most of the pieces are less than $15 and you can probably build an entire system for less than $100.

nckissfan, is that a stock strut tower brace? I'm new to the mustang world and I bought a 98 cobra a month ago and mine doesn't have a brace, I was just wondering if that was stock.

the 98's didn't come from the factory with STB's. The 96-97's came stock with the STB.

Will the 96-97 fit the 98? or do you have to modify something? Where can I get a stocker? Can you still put caster/camber plates? Now I hate my car. lol. I'm new to this mustang stuff, but I thought 96-98 were the same. What other differences are there? Fill me in on how my car isn't as cool as yours. lol.

The only thing diff between our cars is that yours didn't come with a STB. A stock one should fit yours, though. We bought my father-in-law a BBK one for his 98 cobra.
HP and rear-end gears , etc. are the same stock for 96-98 I'm pretty sure.
