What do you think of this SPF with under car exhaust?
Just curious as to what others think of this design?
I backed away from getting a Cobra due to the strong possibility of my wife or kids getting burned from the side pipes accidentally. I never cared for the slabside look.
I then saw this SBF and thought it looked really good. Just curious as to what you all think of this car.

I like it (it goes well with no rb). I think offering the street version is a good choice by SPF. Any pictures of the rear?
And that SPF needs black wheels.

There is a owner that has a SPF Roadster and Coupe in Memphis that has under car exhaust with the non functioning side pipes in place. Olthoff did the mods to the headers to allow for under car exhaust. So if you like the look of the side pipes yet do not want the possibility of burns that is an option. BTW, Love the pic that itstock posted.

We have sold several "Roadsters" with undercar exhausts. One to a woman who was concerned about her kids and sidepipes.
Personally I love the look of the "street" cars with undercar pipes, no scoop and full bumpers/overriders.

I admit I am very biased... I love Cobras... with or without sidepipes... the example pictured above is stunning!  |

Stop. Kids, wives, girlfriends, can be trained to enter or exit properly. If not a welding blanket will eliminate risk. Sometimes I wonder how we won so many wars in this country.

I like it. But then I'm prejudiced.

One of my sons is autistic with significant learning disabilities. He is still non-verbal and he is 11. He loves to ride in my other cars (04 SVT cobra Vert and 11 GT500 vert). He likes to walk up and look at them in the garage. He would not understand until he was burned. |

I think that's a very good looking street Cobra.
Is that Indigo Blue?
What engine/trans?

Oh and I have been burned many times and I lived!! My 7 and 9 year old have never been burned in the last 6 years. They stay away from the car hot or cold and if they ride in it I lift them in and out as I have to fasten the seatbelt anyway.

How about this one ... CSX3360
For a street 427, this has to be about as nice as they come.

After owning a BB Vette with side exhaust knew our Cobra was going to have belly pipes. In my opinion so much more comfortable on long rides and without the side exhaust the lines of the car stand out better.
One other feature I always loved about exhaust out the back is standing there listening to those two pipes make their music. Big inch, long duration cam,double pumper, hot ignition all add up.

I will stick with my side pipes, the real look. If you don't want side pipes buy a Honda.

I expect anyone with a nice street replica knows where you can stick your side pipes  |

Over the years I have seen a lot of cars with side pipes some of them looked ridiculous especially those that had them just for looks where the inlets were not connected and oh so obvious.
Don't forget that the real look included belly exhaust on a Cobra and with a real 427. |
