I've seen that video on a few social media posts. The exhaust looks and sounds absolutely incredible. SOOOOOO excited to get mine!

had a really strange sound @WOT that scared the crap outa me that began during our heavy rains here the other day. it was a "clacking" under load/boost, is the only way i can describe it.

just swapped the plugs today. noise is GONE. a couple of em didnt even need the socket wrench to unthread.. were that loose. this was a weird one, as i thought i had a blown turbo.. so, i dodged a BULLET for 25 bucks worth of fr6ldc's.

It's a Factory Five Cobra, so it's running a fairly simple but tastefully modded Ford 5.0, fox body era.

Wow, nice work on the build! I thought I went nuts with the overhaul over the winter.. We are still working out the events and license renewals for this year but let me know if they picked out the Miller dates.

Did spark plugs, 997 coil packs and cabin air filter today.

All were probably factory original.

Plugs don't look bad at all... Any micro-cracks on the coil packs you replaced?

These are what my coil packs and plugs looked like when I replaced them last year...
