Default Swap my Cobra Race Tube for quieter system

Due to another nipper on the way, i'm looking to 'downgrade' the volume of my exhaust.

Cobra Racetube backbox and resonated centre section, i'll have to double check the diameter, but pretty sure it's married to a 3" downpipe. Classic fitment.


I'm looking for something a tad more sensible, but not too quiet. I had an HKS Hi-Power (Not silent) previously, and found this a tad tame. Would prefer an 'up and out' style.

No Powerflow nonsense please, and you must be willing to swap over on the driveway as I dont have a spare system at the moment.

Based in Bournemouth but travel to Hertfordshire regularly.

For whatever reason, the centre section (and therefore back section) are different lengths to your usual system (I believe Blitz Nur specs are like this too) so not interchangeable with your average system.

Quality/value. I've had Powerflow before, and dont get me wrong, it's not crap by any standard, just not as good as the Cobra. So, in a nutshell, I dont want to swap for slightly inferior quality which i think is fair enough?

I'd have been interested but need a 2.5" flange for a standard downpipe. I've got a 3" system on now which tapers to 2.5" at the downpipe. It's custom built with a long backbox pipe and shortened centre section. Fits well but a little tame as you put it for me. 4" inward rolled pipe.

Just to say I called Cobra exhausts up today and come 12.30pm was the proud owner of a 3" unresonated race tube catback system. Fitted it on my drive and **** me even with a standard downpipe it's loud! I frigging love it

Different to the deeper Nir Spec but a good bit of kit for under £275!

Bump for this.

Really need to sort out a quieter exhaust - preferably angled exit.

Howdy mate, i'll get some decent ones up as i've got a couple but they're off my camera phone - not the best quality.


Did you sell that boot in the end? - I had to go out and it ended before I could bid
