What catback system for an 03 cobra?

[Zorro]

My buddy owns an 03 Cobra and he wants it to sound like mine. I have a mac catback on my 2000GT and it sounds great. But I don't think I would put a poor quality exhaust on my 03Cobra. So, I want to recommend something that sounds great but doesn't rust. Some systems out there are too quiet or wierd sounding. Thanks for the help.

Really like my Magnaflow, good quality and nice price.

I like my MAC catback just fine. As far as rust is concerned, scrub the inside of the tailpipe with steel wool and primer it before installing it. I like the low rumble at idle to mid rpms and it screams at WOT.

Now that I have the FRPP catback, I would never use anything else.

i personally think mac makes good exhaust products. they sound really clean, and are loud as hell.

I had a mac cat-back on my 99 until i ditched the irs, and now i have spintech with my solid axle. the sound is similar.

I love my Steeda cat-back (read: Borla). Perfect fit and top quality.

I had the Magnaflows, they were alright.

Stingers = HELL YEAH!!!

I have the SLP cat back and it sounds awesome.

which cat back gives the best performance??

I believe its between magnaflow and borla stingers......because there straight threw mufflers.....I love my borla stingers ...great power and awsome sound ..kinda deep...yet kinda exotic at idle...but kick it in the shorts and she screams like a nascar

Steeda and borla stingers... are they exactly the same? I can't find anyone with borla stingers in stock...

Also - I heard a rumor that my catless bassani x-pipe is hurting my performance and if I had one with cats I would get a lot more torque... is this bs ?

If i had'nt gotten the UNBELEIVABLE deal that I did on my Bassani C/B i was a day or so from ordering a borla stinger...I really wanted one. The stinger is a resonator exhaust and sounds much better than the SLP resonator I heard. I will be ordering a bassani X-pipe within a week or 2. It has removeable cats and race pipes to replace them and I plan to dyno it both ways and see first hand about torque losses. I'll post when I do. I did my baseline last fri before the intake and C/B was put on. RPM outlet in houston stocks stingers...rpmoutlet.com

That would be an awesome test. I really think the sales guy was trying to push the more expensive x-pipe with cats and would love to know your dyno results. Please let me know! I do like your kit though, a simple change and you have with or without.. I should have bought that one

If I were you and you are planning on spending the money, I would go with the Borla Stinger! The lowest that I have found it new is $569 @rpmoutlethttp://www.rpmoutlet.com/03borla.htm You can view the Bassani x-pipe I plan to get on their site too.

http://www.rpmoutlet.com/03borla.htm they say that SVT used the borla system on the 2003 Cobra R's 5.4...... I thought it was bassani that was chosen?
