Lippy,
I have'em and I love'em. The only snakebite I ever got was while working on another Cobra guy's car...
Here's a shot of the passenger side with the body off:
You can see the notch in the front outrigger support that E-M put there to allow some ground clearance.
And here's the finished product:
Spintech made the mufflers for me. Their stock ones proved a little too wide and made one of the world's loudest rattles. After they made some for me about 3/4" narrower, they've been on there ever since. They are not SS so they are coated.
I have SS headers and pipes. This was another series of learning experiences, as the routing and fit of the pipes needs to be done correctly. If they're hanging down a bit too low, well, let's just say it makes a noise that's a lot louder than a rattle!
The pipes are 3" all the way. If you have a smaller engine (mine's a 521) you could likely use 2-1/2" and not eat too much hp.
There's a standard rubber hanger (sort of elongated O-shaped) just before the exit bend, holding onto the the pipe using a piece of 3/8" rod welded onto the pipe, and a similar hanger under the frame.
I would have taken them out to the back bumper to make it quieter on 400-500 mile days, but there wasn't any space for the tailpipes.
Enjoy,
Tom
