I found Cobra to have a deeper but louder, HS a little more tinny, but the HS was much better quality steel that the Cobra, and far better quality sports cat.

But either way, both excellent zoorsts.

Cobra track day friendly with a 4.5" exit (I like the look so they made it for me)
de-cat RCM manifold - passes noise tests at 98/99 db depending on the wind and never get winged at on driveby I'm not sure If I would feel comfortable going for a 98 day though!

The car has the rear seats/ and boot carpets wheels etc removed.




When at home or wanting to be noisy I swap the backbox for a Hayward and scott 4.5" slash angle exit back box and that is a little less resonating but ALOT louder outside the car circa 104/105 db

Every time I try and get away with that setup on a track day (other than the ring or Spa..) I get black flagged for noise or, warned at the end of session and end up swapping to the Cobra again.

The Finish /quality of Steel on the H & S is better than the Cobra.

Didnt realise cobra did a resonated centre. My 3" cobra sport does have the removable restrictor in the tailpipe but I was advised to take it out so I may look for the resonated centre to bring noise levels down.

If you ring them I'm sure they will supply you with this double resonated section, (this will actually help power)

It does make quite a difference. When I first bought mine I was wrongly supplied with the deresonated centre (which I had fitted without checking ) a little too loud for me.

Put in a claim with PayPal stating I would be happy to accept a claim for the difference in price as it was partially my fault, but was told to return item for full refund.
