Hi people, ppl, and peeps!

I have an 04 Cobra and want to know your opinion on the best exaust. I am taking it soon to a performance shop to have mods done such as intake, throttle body, chip, suspension and exhaust.

The guy there says that he recommends Borla but warned that they can be expensive. "Yeah, i'd go with Borla stingers dude," he says. The Borlas definately have a unique sound but I'm not sure if it actually sounds Mustangy enough for me =) Mac sounds deep and to me Bassani sounds cheap. But I have never heard any of these systems on a Cobra before, just on GTs.

So, should I go Flow? I tend to like the sound of the Flows alot more with a Prochamber H-pipe combo.

 

Cobra Exhaust Videos
This is an old thread that Dan started and has a lot of 03/04 cobra owners showing off their exhaust. Personally I like bassani. However, I'm still not exactly sure if I will be putting 40 series w/ o/r hpipe or bassani on my upcoming car.

 

I love the sound straight through mufflers make. I personally love the magnaflow catback with o/r pro-chamber setup. However, got to experience an 03 with Borla Stingers with prochamber and it was awesome.

 

I have Bassani on my 03 cobra, and it sounds amazing. I would go Bassani.

 

if u want just sound ... go with flows. my friend got flows and on a dyno he barelly gaind anything. on the other hand i just got magnapack on my gt (loudest maganflows) x pipe, high flow cats and took 2 cats out. i gained 25 hp to the wheel. just had it dynod. and this is on a 04 gt

 

Borla has the reputation of being top of the line, excellent quality, and sound. I just ordered mine. I placed the order with Chris of RPM Outlet in Texas 281 261-6244. This company sells the full after cat, part # bor140052 for $651.95 shipping included, which is $168 less than buying it straight from Borla, and is delivered in 3 working days. It is advertised to increase performance by 30 hp on the '03 - '04 Cobras.

Magnaflow with the Magnapacks...sweet music to the ears and sounds mean as heII

 

I have MAC 3" catbacks, hard to believe anything could sound any better. As far as performance you be the judge, with only catbacks and a cold air intake, my 03 made 411 SAE RWHP

 

Not knocking the FlowMasters, but to me they sound like a truck. Listen to Terrys '04 Cobra MC vert and perhaps you'll understand why I feel the way I do.

 

See the sig baby...

 

Thanks you guys for your advice. I have decided to go with the Borla catback mated with the ProChamber.

 

The money for the Borla will hurt. At least until they are in place, then you'll see they are worth every penny.

WARNING: It seems they come in a 2 piece setup for each side, but it is not. It is really 3 on each side. The muffler tech was wondering why both sides of the catback were 4" to 6" short, and the reason they were is because the sleave that bolts on to the cat slides off the piped muffler and becomes the "3rd" piece.

 

I like my Flowmaster (Force II's) set up. The American Thunders sound like a truck to me. This is on my 97 GT though. My question is what x-pipe should I get??? It's a daily driver and I'll be probably retire to Texas when I get done with the Navy, should the x-pipe have cats?

 

MustangFun,

The thing is, someone I know has a magnaflow catted x-pipe and it sounds very mustangish! So I will either go with that or a prochamber but I am starting to lean toward the magnaflow x.

 

I know I don't have a Cobra, but I do have Borla Stingers on my Mach . . and am EXTREMELY happy with them.

 

I cant recommend the Dr Gas o/r X-pipe enough. That thing just sounds awesome (smooth and exotic tone) and makes great power.

 

What about state emission laws?

 

umm.. ok maybe the catt'd magnaflow. I am not sure if they have a catted Dr. Gas.

You forget I am in alabama, that isnt a top priority.

 

Emission laws?



We have not emission laws...
We don't need no stinking emission laws!

 

I just put on the BORLA stingers on my cobra last week and i totally love the way they sound , louder than i expected. a little on the expensive side but you get what you pay for well worth the money in my opinon.
