Default difference in cobra and gt exhaust

its my understanding that the exhaust for a 96gt and 96 cobra are not the same because of the 32valve in the cobra. is that right, know

The mid pipe and cat back may be the same, but the factory exhaust manifolds will be different because the heads are different. Other than that, the IRS (don't know if IRS was on '96) has different routing for the cat back.

Just look under the rear end. Stick axle or half shafts. I'll take you about 2 seconds to know.

I think the '96 had 305hp, so I hope you can run 17s! I hope that was a joke. LOL

Your cobra does not have IRD. The only factory mustangs that had IRS are the 1999-2002 cobras, 2000 cobra R and the 03/04 cobra.

well i checked the mac website because i was going to buy a mac prochamber for my car, apparently they don't make one for the 96 cobra because the transmission crossmember is in a different spot than on the 96gt. I HATE THIS BULL$&*$. looks like i'll be going BBK O/R H
