Beautiful car Larry! I notice that the side pipes appear a bit lower in relation to the body compared to the other Exact Cobras like gsharapa's for example below. May be just the angle of the shot, or do you have a different header/sidepipe combo?

Buzz,
They are the same pipes, same mounting. I believe it is just the angle of the photo and the shadows that creates the illusion of a difference.
The headers were custom built to match the 351W to the side pipe's slip joint as Roger's supplier only provided 427 headers. Fortunately the owner of iceengine works lives in Austin and offered to build a set for me. icengineworks For someone making more than one set of headers in their lifetime this is a pretty good design tool.
I'm kind of short of photo choices on my work computer so will get some additional images up over the weekend.
Later,
Richard

My headers/side pipes were from Kirkham however Rob Camp from Distictive Automotive had to modify the headers a bit and he also cut out the muffler and installed Howell Racing mufflers, 4" OD and 3.5" ID and we turned them around so they were pretty much straight through with no restriction. The whole system worked really well........ Miss the car but it is getting a great workout in France!

Looks like exactly the same car with a hard top on it. Nice GT40 , How is the driving experience compared to the Cobra? I've sat in a couple SPF GT40's and my head was against the roof.

It's really a great experience. 1960s performance car with A/C......Love it! I'm only 5'11 and plenty room and I don't even have the Gurney bubble. I have my seat up off the bulk head about 4 inches and the pedal box is half way back. Guy I bought the car from was 6'3.
