Sidepipe Collector Suppliers
 
Hi:
I'm rebuilding my CCX-3057 side pipes, does anyone have a contact for sidepipe collector suppliers, hopefully in MI? I've already arranged for the mufflers and turnouts (plus coating), have thought about reusing what is currently installed but the passenger side collector has some bottom damage and am looking at my options. I wasn't sure if these are truly hand fabricated or can be supplied ready to weld to the muffler, etc. Am running a 428FE with slip fit headers.
Thanks in advance.

CobraRestorers.com They have the entire system. From the header pipers to the side pipes.

Hey Kirk, so you want to replace just the collector on one side? That's just a 3" tube.

are you doing stainless ? I have couple of suppler's and there's a man close to you called buckshot raceing

Hi; If your car is a Contemporary Cobra, we made all of the exhausts for them. E-mail me your tele# and I will help you out. Regards, Justin

Thanks, Dan, I've not seen these on their website but will check again.

Hi Nick:
You're right, it's just one of the four tubes is crimped. If it were me and I had access to a shop I'd just cut it out and splice in a new round section. But I don't. Kinda like a window weld on boiler tubes. Still not decided, I was just looking around to see who made these quite possibly something ready made might be more economical that's all. I do want to do it right though, maybe changing out both collectors is the way to go, but I'm definitely going with the Classic Chambered 20" x 3" packed mufflers originally from one of your posts. Besides, they're local. Thanks again.

Hi wreckerboy, I'm going with carbon steel, probably ceramic coated.

Hi Dan:
Thanks, great link, especially with the Contemporary-specific sidepipes. I'll give them a call, at this point I'm looking for just the collector as I've already ordered a set of 20" Classic Chambered mufflers and turnouts. I'd use my existing collectors (and still may with repairs) if not for the minor damage on the passenger side lowest pipe just upstream of the collector straight section.
Much appreciated.
Kirk

Sure would like to see a picture when they're done.

Kirk.
Why not use a dent puller to pull out the dent...the kind that uses weld on studs..
BTW I ordered the Cobra Restorers sidepipes for my Contemporary...they dont fit, the individual pipes B4 the collector are at least an inch longer and need reworking to fit.
I have a stud puller you can use if you want, Im near Rochester , Mi.
I would offer my old pipes, but I am going to make shorties w/o mufflers for the Dream Cruise.

Hi Dan:
Will do. Expect this all to come together this month.

Hi Ray:
Thanks for the Cobra Restorers feedback and offer on the puller. I'll send you a PM.
Much appreciated.

I'm pretty sure that the original supplier for Contemporary's pipes was Tubular Automotive in MA. 781-878-9875.

When I built my sidepipes I purchased the collectors from:
Stahl Headers
