I'm plannin on superchargin my 5.4l. Will the 2.5" exhaust system I have now be good enough or will I need to upgrade to a 3" system?

I know this is old but even if I have the Kooks LT's that have a separate collector pipes would I still not be able to use them?

I'm considering buying a 03/03 blown SVT cobra engine and putting it into my 2001 SVT Cobra - how straight forward is this? What else would need to be changed?

Engine ECU
Harnesses
Gauge cluster?
Fuel tank & pipes?

any help would be greatly appreciated...

Wrong spot man. you might want to start a new thread or check the SVT/4v Forum.

i have a 97 cobra that had a 5.4l 4v swap done. there was a small fire and melted a few things, i got the car and it ran great, now im pulling motor to clean it up, my question is does the knock sensor need to be hooked up. it had the sensor from the navi mtor but it was melted. but seemed like it ran fine. i just want to do it right.
