Straight pipes?

[96Creeper]

has anyone ever heard of putting straight pipes on a 96-98 cobra? i was wondering what it sounds like, and what it does for performance. any sound clips would be awsome! thanks

well it is gonna sound like ass for one, just real loud. you will lose some low end torque which we really cant afford to lose.

 

[SvtCobra581]

yeah it will sound like ass, what will help with tq an x pipe or an h pipe

 

[cobra196]

wat will give better torque x or h pipe?

i ran straight pipes for a couple weeks. it sounded good IMO until you let off the gas while the engine was still warming up. there was a lot of popping. but once the engine warmed up, it still popped when you let off the gas, but not as bad as when the engine was cold.

Just say no. Please?

Do a midpipe and a FULL catback. That will get you HP and Torque.

Guy I know has a 96 with the stock H and straight pipes, sounds like complete ass IMO.

I like the popping noise :shrug:

It does sound like loud garbage though.

letting off of the gas....

yeah, that's really when it will sound bad. it will pop bad and backfire too. ( i had a 95 AODE GT with O/R X and flows that would backfire downshifting into 2nd and sounded like a 20 gauge)(that used to make the brutha's duck for cover at the bus stops!!!)..... that and you'll get all of the attention of the little piggies when you put your foot in it. it you are looking for an above average aggressive sound, run longtubes, an O/R X or H and a couple of those dyno-max round bullets. that should be loud enough for you.

just an idea.

i believe u would get more power out of the X pipe

I noticed tho that OR X's have less backfire then OR H's

Mine pops pretty good on shifts, especially on the 1-2 shift.

Ive heard that the x-pipe gives similar hp gains but a little more tq than the h-pipe

 

[CaliSS2001]

I had summitt bullitts on the stock H dumped, and it sounded good. After I put the O/R H on it sounded like shit.

Ive heard that the x-pipe gives similar hp gains but a little more tq than the h-pipe

the common theory is that h pipe's have slightly better low end torque whereas x pipes gain 1 or 2 more topend.

i would not do straight pipes or bullet mufflers.

my car is loud as hell and its got a full exhaust minus tail pipes.

 

[CleanCobra]

So when I get my American Thunder CB, I'll get some torque? I thought that the loss of backpressure would take away a couple pounds.

 

[openroadracer]

i would not do straight pipes or bullet mufflers.

i agree.... but then again, i wouldn't consider running straight pipes either.

thanks for the input, i have an off road x pipe and borla mufflers and borla pipes right now, i just want something to make it sound a little louder, anyone know where i can get some cheap long tubes?

:lol: :lol: Cheap long tubes...for a 4v?

Change your mufflers. I have a UPR w-pipe with Dynomax Ultra Flows and it's loud, very loud.

Hmmmm I might to swap to a w-pipe then, hows the sound? :lol1:
