    Help picking out exhaust for my 03 Cobra

    So my wife looks at me and says

    "Honey, I want the Cobra to be louder"

    Just looking for a little input from some of you guys. Right now the car just has Flowmasters welded in. I'd like to save money and build off of that if possible. At the same time I want to get a good HP gain for a good price.

    I am thinking

    Long tube headers
    X or H pipe (what is the differance?)

    On my 96 GT I just put on flows and cut out the back two cats and it was perfect. That is about the sound I would like to get to.

    If you want loud...cant beat Bassini O/R X with Magnaflow Magnapacks...hit 118db in my old 03 Silver Cobra.

    Now I dont want attention, so I run a Magnaflow Catted X & Flowmaster Cat Back in my new Termee. suttle but it has a good rumble to it IMHO.

    I would go with the stainless works longtubes with full 3" exhaust or Mac L/T's, Prochamber, Mac Catback. Shot a PM to James, he has some videos with his stainworks setup. He also has cams though, so it sounds alittle diffrent.

    Decent Long tubes are like $400+. Are they worth it? I have read I can get up to a 20 HP boost on the dyno.

    The long tubes will be a waste of money, not to mention a PIA to install unless you'r trying to get over the 550 rwhp mark. I run a Bassani catted X on mine with a 2.5" MAC catback. It's loud enough to hear over just about anything else, but not loud to the point it's annoying.

    I went with the bassani X cause it is a 5 piece design that will also work with their long tubes if I ever decided to go with them down the road. Plus the catted one comes with the straight tubes you can put in place of the cats if you want it to be louder.
