    I have ran across a couple other Cobra owners that keep telling me I should switch out my pulleys on my new GT500. Should I do this? and if so any opinions? and does it negate the Warranty if I do so?

    Thanks!

    That will void the warranty.

    It depends on the dealer. Mine (I'll protect their name) is covering the full warranty providing they installed it. They also did a CAI and tune. It is unbelievably powerful. We made 548 RWHP

    Any noticeable improvements on gas mileage after the pulley replacement?

    Can't say yet. I'm having too much fun with the pedal all the way down.

    My dealer told me that the warranty issue would depend on the nature of the warranty claim. If the problem COULD have been caused by any changes made, the warranty wouldn't cover it. Pretty much eliminates any warranty on the engine or driveline. I'm planning to wait until the warranty is up to change my pulley, all I've done so far is change the air intake and have it dyno tuned so that can be reversed easily if need be. I may change rear gears in the near future though.
