side pipes for CR
Hey guys i'm up to the side pipe bit now and are after some drawings or specs on making a set of "original side pipes".
Any help will be great. Thanks |
I have Trevor Leegate's book if you want to look at a few pics of original Cobras?

Legalities of even having "live" side pipes aside, here's my 2 bob on side pipes; As mentioned in recent threads, the noise can eventualy wear you down and the original style only affords about 600 mm of muffler, I've got just over 800mm and have trouble keeping the noise reasonable. Everyone I know who has tried the original style have disconnected them due to noise and burning thier mates, the wife, the kids and even the dog. :CRY: By all means run them, but unless you are building and exact replica, most of these issues can be addressed by building them sensibly, suitably shielded, and they will still look good. Every thing about a Cobra is oversized, wheels, tyres, engine, why not oversize the pipes to achieve this. Robnell's run a 5" pipe with a shield over that, and they don't look out of place. |

I have just looked at pics of Mikes pipes as you can see them going together at different stages, magazines, books ect but in the end I have just used a design from out of my head and worked the pipes so that they 'look' right to me.
But then Whoopie Goldburg looks OK to her mother too I spose :D Gav |
