They drive you nuts in the end, so bare this in mind
I had a 5zigen on my old car which was fooking loud, sounded fantastic but go on a 150-200 trip up the motorway and my back seat passangers would be pleading for me to stop, you couldn't have a conversation with someone in the passenger seat. I ended adding extra sound deadening and driving with the window open an inch to stop the droning

the Cobra is LOUD
I had one on mine when I bought it and removed it after a few weeks as it was too much for me as a daily driver
got a Hayward & Scott now, much better

Just simply trying to work out which one will be louder as a point of interest.
But just as a point of reference....having the louder one makes you infinitely cooler!!!!! haha, jokes

The sound quality
Deepness of the rumble
Build quality
Nice 4.5" tailpipe
Visual looks
IMHO anything bigger on a classic looks too big
3" - 4.5" is plenty big enough.

ah right i see, well its only a back box, so only a pretty small section right at the end of the system which will be fractionally larger bore, ill bear that in mind when the time comes to change the centre pipe as well though. The rest of my exhaust is bog standard.

don't know what the cobra sounds like but I've just had the Turbo back decat Afterburner system installed with the Afterburner Vortex. The sound is incredible, not too bad on the motorway at 70mph. Definitely a head turner.
