Au contraire m'seur,

There is little room for an undercar exhaust on a cobra.

But, sidepipes are not inherently noisy or smelly.

If your carb is running too rich, you'll get exhaust fumes. If the car is moving forward, there is no odor, nor does any exhaust get trapped in the car, even with top and sidecurtains installed during winter driving.

And the pipes are loud only if you make them so. With decent glasspacks, you can get a deafening roar, a mellow rumble, or a throaty purr. Have a summer pair, and a winter and trip pair.

Have a pair of Page 30" x 2 1/2" (mellow rumble), and 36" x 2 1/4" (throaty purr). Mufflers are about $30 each.
