"Most Cobras you would have to repair the cutout in the body."

I personally would leave the sidepipes on for looks and go with the underbody exhaust.

I have seen a cobra replica here recently that had the turned outlets cutoff and then pipes exiting underbody at the rear of car. Effectively using the existing sidepipes as mufflers. This won't negate the burny problem though, it is just to satisfy our registration requirements.

Mine has a full underbody system and will be hassle free in most respects, but I do hope to be able to afford decorative sidepipes down the track.
