Not Ranked
Keith Craft told me that a 20% loss was average for Cobras. He had dyno'ed motors and then installed them it Cobras. Then dyno'ed the car.
I think because of the way they are made, sidepipes are the largest contributories to horsepower loss. Some have an 1 7/8" core with a lot of packing. Other have 3" core and little to no packing.
