DLG, you haven't met my wife. LOL Karl, maybe I will try the Castrol Benol 2-stroke oil. Gotta smell better than what my car is belching now and no amount of tuning makes the smell any better. Sometimes I actually wish I had a street Cobra with rear undercar exhaust. I will try the ratio suggested in another posting above and see what happens. Just thought, could you imagine using the fuel fragrance that smells like marijuana and being pulled over by a State Trooper?
To ERAChas, to me, C-14 meant Carbon 14 as in carbon dating. Guess I can't forget what I do for a living. Wasn't aware there was an actual fuel with that designation. I thought you were ribbing me like the guy who suggested painting my Cobra pink and planting flowers. By the way, my wife suggested something along those lines a while back to make her like the car better.
Thanks. You guys are great.

Consider this opinion as financial advice more than relationship advice. In my experience, when my now ex-wife didn't like something, resolving one specific complaint only led to her revealing a new complaint. If she doesn't like the Cobra, I wouldn't spend too much money trying to make it better. Sooner or later she'll reveal a complaint you can't fix (e.g., the wind musses my hair and I don't like the way I look in a hat or scarf). I suspect you're going to end up choosing between using the Cobra by yourself, or getting rid of it. ... You're not the first to face this dilemma.

I used to have this problem, however when I configured new sidepipes I have the exit at about 45* instead of opening directly to the side as most do. That, and with the windshield at 42* seems to eliminate this. It wasn't planned but seems to have worked.

Karl, I found the Klotz Benol 2-stroke oil on eBay for 11.99 per pint and ordered. I will report back to the readership after I try it. I also ordered some cotton candy and grape fragrance just in case the Klotz doesn't work. I wasn't brave enough to order the marijuana fragrance although it would have made for some interesting conversation.
Message to Tommy: are you sure you don't already know my wife??? Every day brings a new complaint, a new aggravation, a new problem or at least a resurgence of an old complaint. Solution: cheaper to keep her and ignore her. By the way, it ain't my wife that I am doing all this for.
To Rick Parker: My sidepipes also point down at a 45* angle. Not sure about windshield angle, though.
I will report back after I fiddle around with the Klotz Benol and the fragrance.

I wonder if an under car exhaust with rear exit would help with the smell.

Superheart:
Don't be offended, I can agree wholeheartedly with Silverback, this is the price we pay when we ride Cobra. I gave up on the idea of smelling nice after a ride so I wait to shower after the ride. There is a funny writeup about the Cobras and I will send it to you as an attachment to bring a smile to your face.
Cheers Brother
Sincerely
Basque1(Lou)

I keep my cobra in its own garage and I love the smell in there, even my kids love the smell. The smell is part of the experience. A little exhaust, plus some leather mixed in with a little burning rubber.... Put that on a tree and hang it from your mirror!

Manhattan Oil 19769-32 - Manhattan Oil Fuel Fragrances - Overview - SummitRacing.com
Manhattan Oil makes several different "flavors" of additives. Grape is a favorite. Has no effect on the performance of your gasoline.
And you WON'T smell bad at the end of the day! But you might smell like you've been working in a cotton candy shop.

So is it the mineral oil or the other additives in the Castrol R or Klotz Benol that makes it smell so good?
The reason I ask is I have a couple of pints (left over from a Jag sedan we owned) of Castrol Hydraulic Power Boost System Mineral Oil.
It is a very clear color and light weight (thinner than cooking oil) and I wonder if this would give the same odor as Castrol R/Benol mineral based oils?
Cheers
