One advantage you do have with the Coyote motor is that the exhaust ports point more downward than a windsor and you don't need to make clearance for plugs. this makes building headers a much easier proposition.

I'm walking new ground with this idea. I initially planned on a Ford racing 427 and side pipes. So the Coyote is a different idea, but one I think I will be happy with in the long run. I'm not looking to re-invent the wheel, or try something crazy. I want to put together a good car using well established systems.
So, Mike, how would you do the exhaust with this engine if it where your car and you had the restrictions we both seam to have? Is there a certain cross pipe system that works and fits well with the Cobra considering the ground clearance issues and such? A muffler needs to be in the equation.
