Gday Mate:
cheers from NY, suggestion, I am in the same dilemma, I have ceramic coated sidepipes on my Cobra and I was considering changing them for stainless steel, guess what give serious consideration to order ceramic coated. Maintaining the stainless steel from going yellow is a pain in the rear. Today I just polished mine with Flitz and they came out great. Just my two cents before you go out spending your money on stainless steel, and I do love stainless steel (when it is new).
cheers

Give Warrick a call, he has them made locally.

Mine are Factory Fives
4 Port Side Exhaust Uncoated - Factory Five Parts Catalog
but are mild steel, matt black. They used to carry a stainless set but I can't see them on their website now...maybe email them? There are quite a few Cobras fitted with these in Aus. Much cheaper than locally made ones.

Only prob is their fixed length, so if you're insistent on them finishing at the rear wheel arch they'll come up short. There's plenty of argument though as to the "correct" length:confused:

Search for other posts on this.......there's plenty of info here

side pipes
 
Hi Guys unfortunately Don at snake bite has stopped making side pipes they are they are the best quality and original shape .
but like a lot of things cost of materials and labour for polishing made unprofitable to manufacture. they were also not working type .
I am looking at importing some made over seas but seem to have problems just getting responses to emails .
I used to buy all the parts from Don to make them into live side pipes takes a lot more work . i have 1 set of bends and collector left.
contact me at work if you are interested in buying or getting them finished off
I can make them longer to suit the extra 100mm wheel base.

I even got an email from a company in china wanting to sell me side pipes except they had copied them off a cobra with a chev engine . so fitment is also a problem .
Regards oz.
work number is 0732004072.
