I installed the f sport intake, f sport exhaust, and some Michelin pilot sport a/s 3's this past week. It's like a whole new car








And the best pic of all!

I thought so too! They aren't on the car in that pic either. The sound is mostly perfect, I could live without the bit of drone around 2200-3000ish rpm. But it sounds great at full throttle after 3k.

I put them on yesterday, so only maybe 20 miles so far. I'll try to report back, but so far they seem great. Anything would have been better than the 38k mile original Bridgestones though probably!

I hope not too much, I bought this car because of the lack of aftermarket support. I have had a bad habit of modding cars to the point of being not very daily driveable several times and it needed to stop! I wanted something that would be fun, but keep my marriage in tact.......my last few cobras have tested that

I'd also be interested in knowing your impressions on the Michelin tires. I'm contemplating the same option for my car. Also, what did the Michelins replace?

Sounds good. Yeah, my stock tires have inner tire wear and I don't have even have close to 38,000 miles on my car.
