Cobra Pipes installed


Stripped off the old pipes.  Found out that I had an exhaust leak in the stock pipes.  I thought my leg was hot on the right side, but figured it was my imagination.  But there was a burn mark on the inside of the chrome cover where the exhaust gases where coming out.

It took a lot of effort to put the new pipes on.  I made several mistakes, and could have done a few things easier. Directions were sparse, but that is a Cobra standard  If I had to do it again, it would go a lot faster.


I thinks the pipes look pretty good. Very similar to the stock pipes.  But they are very different.  Each cylinder has its own exhaust.  The pipes are a single piece instead of welded pipes like the stock. The catalytic converter is gone, and the airflow is significantly less restrictive.  I changed the air/fuel ratio as well.with the PowerCommander.
