    Stupid question

    Alright I have searched and searched and have no answer. I have a 97 Cobra right now and i want to put a Borla catback on. There is no Borla catback in production for a 96-97 cobra (98's have different hangers and there is no catback for these either). There is for a 94-95 cobra and a 94-97 gt...
