Question on Flowmasters for '99 Cobra

[G FORCE]

Hello all,

My girlfriend has a '99 Cobra and is wanting that awesome aftermarket sound for her car but she can't afford a nice catback system.

I found a local person who is selling his exhaust off a '99 GT that had Flowmaster 40 series mufflers installed in the stock piping. I was wondering if these mufflers would fit on the Cobra (proper offsets and piping diameter) and how it would sound. He is wanting $100 for the mufflers and they are 3 months old.

If this is a good buy and they will work, I was going to buy them for her and have them installed at a local shop for $45.

Please let me know and thanks in advance,

Gabe

I'd have to guess, no. Because of the IRS, the whole cat-back is different.

no, the inlet/outlet offsets are completely different because of the IRS.

If you search on the net, you can probably find originals (40's) for 60 bucks or so. I bet if you try to buy them locally their going to have delta 40's, for 90 bucks. But you cant get the originals in a catback form anyways. I would get the originals, if I could do it over again, but mine are dumped now so it wouldn't matter.

Hmmm oh ya they have the delta flow 40 series and the originals, I think my 99 has the original ones...is that possible?

Do not think they will work. you need side in and out same side on the mufflers. I have some Flowmasters delta 40's 2 chambers off my 01 cobra . Anywhere near Nashville or Atlanta? A real cheap way to go with nearly the same sound is el chepo glass packs which I am currently running. They feel like 30 HP vs the stock system and less drone than the FM 40's.

I could be wrong, but from what I have seen, they only offer delta 40's (2 chamber) or force 2 which is a 3 chamber. They might have the super forties in a catback, but not to sure about that. I have never seen originals in a catback kit. The piping definately looks better than stock with a catback vs. just mufflers, and should flow a little better. than again, throw an offroad h on there with the stock mufflers, and it should sound good.

I know money was the issue, but I highly recommend staying away from Flows and going to Magnaflow. There are shops that will weld in a pair of these for you for less than $200 total. You'll get a good sound and better flow increasing HP.

I say have patience, save money, do it right and buy a catback . You can buy a Catback for $300 or less if you shop around.
