Cobra Make, Engine: Classic 427, I purchased it May 2005, the kit was bought in 1991. I'm not sure when it was completed! Installed GMPP Connect & Cruise 376/525 with T-56 S/M 3.55 gears about 2 years ago! 1/4 miles is with old setup!

We went ahead and welded the tubes to the collectors. So what you see in the photos above is now one piece. We are also going to weld the 3 1/2" taperer reducer to the collector. I'm thinking of then using a V-band clamp between the reducer and muffler!
