    Bassani...definitely will wake the car up on sound as well...BBK makes an O/R pipe for about $150 that's not bad also

    BBK :eek:
    I don't know from experience, but I have heard many on here claim issues with fitment, quality, and lifetime of BBK's midpipes. :shrug:

    I have been happy with the performance and sound of my Magnaflow X-Pipes...fit was good for my 99 cobra too.

    I'm glad you haven't had problems, and hope you never do!!!
    I don't have a direct opinion--just hear things on here. :)

    Im another for the UPR. Cant beat it for the money. I have it on my 01' cobra, but you might want to think about a o/r h pipe if you have flows, they sound better with chambered mufflers and o/r x sounds better with a straight through muffler like magnaflow.

    I did a little research before putting Magnaflow X-pipe and cat-back on my 99 Cobra. I forget exactly where I found the info but Maganflow was right at the top with power gain. I am very happy with the sound & performance

    According to Magnaflow they got 22.9rwhp from thier catback on a stock 01 cobra. That seems kinda high but i guess every car responds different.

    It is confusing though because the part is for 03-04 cobra but look at the base HP, thats a new edge cobra so it seems to be :bs: although i did feel good gains from it.

    Go for UPR. Great product for a little money. 0 fitment or quality issues with mine and with my 2 chambers they scream. Of course seems that most people do'nt like this combo. I happen to like it. :D
