Congratulations, Timo!

Beautiful car and I know a mountain of effort to get to where you are. Impressive start and wonderful sounding engine. I especially like the tone of your exhaust. What kind of mufflers did you use?

The mufflers were my design based on a design called DIVER (anacronym) originated by Custom Chrome who make the Cherry Bomb on the UK. The exhaust is 2.5" dia, and the casing 3.5" x 24" long. Basically the first half of the exhaust is a concertina zig zag of perforated plates, with the second half being classic glasspack. The ends of the unit we made D shape to clear the crossmembers. Like most Cobras, it's very difficult to get a neat looking underfloor exhaust on a MK IV and this is a fair compromise.
