2004 Ford Mustang Cobra Washer Fluid Reservoir
The crafty guys at Razor's Edge decide to use the stock washer fluid reservoir for a totally stealthy install. In addition to not eating up any more space in the already crowded Cobra engine compartment, the washer fluid reservoir will hold almost a gallon of methanol/water mix. Here, the reservoir is drilled for the pickup.

Here, we install the optional Snow Performance level sensor. We wire the low-fluid sensor to the reservoir and mount an LED indicator on the dash that comes on when the system gets low.

2004 Ford Mustang Cobra Washer Fluid Reservoir
Once all the lines and wires are run, the stock washer fluid reservoir should look like this. It would be a good idea to check your reservoir for leaks with water before reinstalling it in the car. Of course, you can use the Snow Performance reservoir mounted in another location if you wish to retain the use of your windshield washer fluid.

On the business end of the system, it is time to tap, drill, and install the nozzle into the inlet tube. Shown is a custom carbon-fiber inlet available from Razor's Edge.

2004 Ford Mustang Cobra Nozzle On
The Snow Performance nozzle does a nice job of evenly distributing the methanol/water mix into the induction pathway of the Cobra. This also gives you an indication of how effective this system is at cooling this intake charge for big power gains.

2004 Ford Mustang Cobra Filter Installation
Once we are sure the nozzle is in place, we reinstall the inlet pipe and install the system filter. This will make sure that there isn't any large debris getting shot down the throat of your Cobra.

The finished installation should look something like this. As with our first test with the Snow Performance system, one of the reasons we like this system so much is that the bulk of it is out of sight. Not only does that keep the installation clean, but it acts as a stealthy addition to a car that is already a serious player.
