From reading online history, the side pipes became popular in the 1980s because buyers of hot rods shaped like a Cobra wanted the 'race' look. The side pipes do nothing more than burn your legs and disturb the peace.
Don't worry about naysayers; they got the wrong history. It is your car and your money. Personally, I like the street look.
I would compare the 'side pipe' look to modern import car guys putting cartoon-like rear wings and racing/parts stickers on their street cars. It just screams 'race boy'

Really???
I like the under-car exhaust look too, but I wouldn't have gone this far with comparing side-exhaust to Import guys, cartoon rear wings, racing stickers.
Wow!
Interesting comment, what Cobra manufacturer is this? I'm not familiar.

Mine hasn't been built yet and I am in a 5 year home build plan. I have some parts now; used Ls1 engine, used Baer brakes, go-kart Tillett seat.
I am designing a "rat rod Cobra"; open engine, wide body flairs, dirty fiberglass shell |

Good option for fuel injection?
I wanted to change from normally aspirated to fuel injection but didn't like any of the places the mechanic suggested we place the O2 sensor. This seems to be a pretty good option I had not considered. Run the sidepipes for the look but under carriage for the real exhaust system. Any other owners know of someone that fuel injected their cobra with side pies? I would like to see how the install looks.

At least you are consistent nyg, a day late and a dollar short on most things cobra, but then again - spectators from the cheap bleacher seats aren't expected to know all the players names. Bone up boy, there will be a test later

sir, u don't get it. I am not playing your game.
Back to OP, if u have kids or ride with company, I'd do the street look. Less noisy and u won't smell like a chimney. |

Let me correct you junior, you're not playing in any game, you're a spectator remember. A little due diligence on your part will circumvent BS such as this ...

I own a loud obnoxious hot rod wannabe race-look kit car. And the poor gas mileage gives me anxiety attacks. I'm depressed now. Going back to bed. 
Back to the OP's SPF. Looks very nice, but I'd also get the 15" wheels installed. Sunburst's would be 1st class, but muy expensivo. |
