`98 Cobra exhaust poll long tube or shorty?

[JL_Tampa]

I just purchased a this car it is my first 4.6.
I've had 5.0's and 5.4sc's in the past.
But I need to know what the best exhaust set up would be for the 4.6 4v.

come on guys longtube or shortys for 1/4 on a `98 Cobra I need input.

definitely long tubes... they will be a PITA to install but its a worthy mod

 

[JL_Tampa]

thanks 96. the x pipe also seems to be the way to go?

 

[So-Slow]

I like the sound of an H pipe, so I went with that...both an X or H will make good power. But stick with the Long Tubes...they are a PITA to install though-

 

[Chris Doss]

It depends, are you willing to deal with a harder install and a much harder tranny or clutch swap in the future for a few more ponies?

Bassani Mid-Lengths, Bassani o/r X-pipe, Bassani Street Competition Catback would be the ultimate in power gains and sound IMO. God it would sound b@dass.... so damn beautiful View attachment 522136

If you have emissions testing in your area, you'll have to get shorties. Long tubes require the removal of the pre-cats so they are not legal.

If you have the option, go for long tubes from jethot. They are spendy but worth every penny. The long tubes help low-end and the coating will last a long time, which is a plus because no one likes changing headers on a 4.6L.

No emissions tests here LT and No cats in my future.

Umm BBk makes long tubes with short x pipes and cats. I ahd them on my gt with 02 extensions, no probs at all, but on my 99 Cobra I will be going Long tubes with off road x or h, into my magnaflow catback
