Lippy, there's a "sweet spot" with the sound of the pipes in these cars, IMO. Louder is not always better. I have been in Cobras that were simply too loud for my taste; likewise, I have heard Cobras that I said to myself "that Cobra is not loud enough -- something's just not right." Those were always small block cars though (and that's not a dig at SB cars, either). You'll have to decide for yourself -- there's no way to tell without hearing them in person. You can hear my pipes by clicking the link below my sig, but even doing that doesn't really tell you how they sound -- you have to hear them in person to tell whether they're to your liking.
