Default Side Pipes from Cobra Restorers

Has anyone used the headers and sidepipes from Cobra Restorers on a Shelby or Kirkham? How was the fit? These will be used with a Shelby block.

Default Why not

Slightly off topic, but why not get the pipes from the Kirkhams?

Shaps,

I may. The Cobra Restorer pipes and headers are $655 cheaper than the pipes from the Kirkham supplier. For that kind of money, they are worth investigating. In addition, from talking with Kirkhams, the Kirkham pipes are louder (although less restrictive). I don't suspect HP is going to be one of my problems (traction will) and I have heard others say they wouldn't mind if their car was a little less loud.

What - loud? What did you say.....speak up.....

Ed, tough to tell from their online pictures...the bend looks about right but it would really be a good idea to get their exact dimensions. I agree with csx700?...in spite of having those folks agreeing on the phone to returning one of my parts, when push came to shove, the "no cash from me" policy applied.

Take a look at this eBay entry - sale ended with no bids but at least you can see that Finish Line offers - I believe that the bends are wrong.

Item number: 7907425928

Here's one other way ahead...Auger Style Muffler
