Default My new COBRA exhaust race tube LOUD!!!

Big thanks to Pete at Exhaust UK(cobra exhausts) for this exhaust!!!

Just had it fitted today, and i wasnt quite sure how it would sound

Mated to my decatted milltek system it fitted a treat, build quality is spot on!!

SOUND; as you can imagine its very loud (as pete told me it would be) all i can say is it sounds like thunder and can be heard from about 2 miles away I LOVE IT But belive it or not i think you might be able to get away with it as a everyday exhaust?? It isnt as loud as i thought it would be on tickover.

I will post up a video of a sound clip so everyone can get an idea of how it sounds when i get chance.

So for now heres a few pics of it fitted to my car.

Pete is doing good deals for scooby net members in the vendor for sale section and i can highly recommend him, great service and product

hope you like.

regards Sam.

PS. pictures now at bottom of thread AND VIDEOS!!

i have a cobra backbox on my scoob... it really is loud as hell... i struggle to have a conversation with someone sat next to me when im driving along hahaha.. as regards to getting away using it everyday i think it depends on what police you come across... i was stopped a couple of times over xmas as usual but nothing mentioned of the exhaust, they were more interested in how many miles it had done and where i had been lol.

Yeah i once heard a black spec c with a RCM team ice on it and does sound very similiar just alot more burble!

Now i have had it on for a day i must admit it is very loud and proberly wouldnt be to everyone's taste. I coulnt imagine getting any thing much louder! But if you like loud cars youll love it, makes Blitz Nur spec R sound quite!!!

Video will be up soon

The hawkeyes do look special in grey and quite rare too.

So you decided to keep it then? I remember seeing the for sale thread and wished I hadn't bought my WRX.

Can't wait to hear how it sounds.

I've had my RCM Team Ice on my car for everyday use for over two years now. There are times when you wished you had some sort of box to take the harshness out of it but most of the time you get on with it.

Would love to hear this. Almost the same as the RCM and H&S Extreme.

Nice cars BTW matey.

looks good and i guess sounds good but can this be bunged for quieter early morning starts?? after more noise myself as mine is just to tame for my liking but neighbours comment now and again now that it's noisy so with something like this on i'd get lynched lol

What sort of money did that cost ya....? I'm tempted to go a full 3" system all the way through.... I'll contact Cobra during the week but just to get a ballpark figure....
