Default side exhaust

CrossFire,

The exhaust comes thru the body over the 3/4" tube bottom support, one of the first areas of "kit spotting".

ERA is a COBRA builder in MA and builds a very good bodied FIA car.

FIA is the International sanctioning organization in Europe associated with road racing. The cut back doors Cobra 289 Competition cars are called FIA's, when actually many different styles of the 289/427 ran under this banner.

The 427 is associated with the independent sprung CSX3XXX COBRAs that carried Big Blocks and came in essentially four body styles. Owner modifications that have been seen has caused the body repairs/upgrades to create confusion of the originality of the cars shape.
