Going Ported Cobra Jet manifold on my 2018 Mustang GT A10

[Sammy123]

Badass build!

Since I assume you're headed up another 500RPM or so, have you given any thought do doing an aftermarket GC/OPG?

Not at this time. I haven't read of any failures from the Cobra jet guys who rev the shit of their cars, especially the manual guys. I think the upgrade is needed primarily for forced induction applications. I'm already shifting at 7800 and another 200rpms should be fine.

Gearing up for the install tomorrow. The installer is expecting the motor mounts to be a royal pain the ass, and won't give me a installation quote on that alone because he doesn't know how long it will take. It is a shop, is it reasonable to expect the motor mount install to only take around 2 hours at most? The way he's saying it it can take 4-5 hours just for the mounts.

It is an easy install with the stock headers. With longtubes already instaled, they may have to drop the subframe to access, which is going to be a longer process.

Check put this video..

If it's OK to disclose, where are you taking it?

You can just make a notch in the hood with a dremel / grinder if you don't want to pay for the motor mount install.

Closest performance shop to me that works on Mustang aftermarket parts.

Are you installing the intake yourself?

 

[MaskedRacerX]

Cool, thanks. I ask because I've considered using a shop in Orlando, when we do one of our Universal trips - we go down about 3 times a year, could leave my car with them, go have fun, show up in a few days, car is done

I was told even that wouldn't be enough for the 18+

Looking to go the same setup on my 19, keep us posted on the installation, i literally cant find a step by step install on a 18/19 .....

there is a few people running CJ on the 18+ without lowering the motor. Remove the insulation and cut some of the framing.

Search around the forums and see if it's been done. You can save yourself a nice chunk of money.

OK the manifold is on, and we have a situation where there's more hoses than connections. There's two inlets on the CJ.

5 hoses that need to be connected (see pic). Can someone confirm where each one goes?

 

[Ricker]

You can get rid of that mess of hoses.

You only need two hoses.

One needs to come from the brake booster and one needs to come from the line that runs along the fuel rail.

If you want you can call me and I can walk you through and text pictures.
