Hi all,
First post! Been a member for about 18months, started out researching then bought my 57 313 coupe in Jan 2012.
I'm in exactly the same position as trancematic: Had an advisory for a pin hole in my Jan MOT then started blowing pretty badly this weekend. Having a look under I think it's the join between the centre pipe and back box too. It's really exposed and must get plastered with salt, it's rusty as hell.
Going to get it on a ramp this weekend and have a look, but presuming I need new bits I think the Cobra looks like the best option. Don't see the point in trying to repair a crappy mild steel oem join.
Does anyone have experience of the non-resonated vs resonated boxes? How does the sound change? Is non-resonated just louder?
I preferably don't want to increase noise too much over OEM, as I do a fair bit of motorway driving. What's the general opinion on how much louder the Cobra is?
Cheers
