I have never worked on a real Cobra but I have worked on a lot of different replicas. I think it would be easy to replace the insulation under the carpet. Your carpet may be held in place with screws and or glue. Most foil insulation is 1/2" thick which should be about the same as what you have. If you don't have insulation now, the 1/2" should not cause you any problems when you install the carpet. I would suggest you cover as much of the inside firewall as you can. The tunnel and floor back back to the bulkhead. I covered the bulkhead for sound isolation from the rear end noise.
Summit, Jegs and hot rod shops sell a foil backed insulation in small rolls. You can measure your Cobra. I think it would take about 60 sq ft.
