Yea i was thinkin that but i already have the mid pipe that i want and i am trying to keep cheap on money cuz the reason i am doing this is i have the motor out and puttin in cams and p&p the heads so i am spending a lot of money already.

So do they make shorties for the cobra?

+1 on the long tubes. Shorties are not much of an improvement over the stock manifolds.

You might try to post the mid pipe in the parts for sale forum and see what you can get for it there. Use that money to save up for a new LT mid pipe. I dont think the LT mid pipes are much more than the regular ones.

Get long tubs bro, or equal lenths. I have the Bassani mid-lengths on mine and couldn't be happier.

What year Cobra; what cams; what intake; what other mods?

I have a similar question.

I just put a Flowmaster Force II Cat-back exhaust on my 2004 GT-Conv., along with a K&N Cold-air Intake. I am thinking of putting headers on it, and also high-flow cats. What combo/set-up should I go with for this? Shorties? Fulls?


Also, am looking for hard tonneau and light or styling bar. Any suggestions?

bbk long tube ceramic coated. bbk off road h pipe, flow master super 40, bbk mils, extentions gaskets from ford racing, sounds great ran a 13.7 at the track with slicks and full exhaust and it only cost me 1200 for everything. i did the install my self and love the power. do long tubes ftw. worth the money even on the 2v

So, they should match up well with the Flowmaster system?

What about the cats, does the BBK Full-length come with them, or do I have to get them separately? And if so, what kind has done the trick for you (anyone) in the past?
