Might you have any video/sound files of your cobra with Spintechs? Have you ever heard of people adding resonators?
There is a video clip attached at the bottom of my posts - but only of idle. That your muffler is rectangular (square corners I assume) and only 3 inches deep is what makes me think it could be a Spintech - however, I can't remember if they produce a stainless steel version without checking. Stainless steel exhausts are known to sound a little different from mild steel. It's pretty tough finding mufflers only 3 inches thick - most are 4 inches. Spintech was about the only one I could find at a reasonable price.

If they are Spintechs - I've been reasonably pleased with the exhaust note on mine. I don't usually like Flowmasters which are another popular baffled muffler and I think the Spintechs beat them for sound - but there sound is not night and day different. It's not like a traditional glass pack or Magniflow type muffler with packing. I am running tailpipes which will also give my car a little different exhaust note than your side exit pipes.

But, I'm speculating. It could be something else vibrating on your car.

Here is my Spintech muffler:
