96535,
Are you saying your daily drivers are 9 and 10 second cars? What, 1/8th mile?

With having rides as fast as you stated, I can't imagine why you are even bothering with a Cobra. There are a few of us geezers that can testify that getting one of these roller skates even into the 10s, in a 1/4 mile, and still be totally streetable, much less into the 9s is pretty much near impossible.
1/4 mile times. I didn't buy the Cobra to be a 1/4 mile car but still want it to feel somewhat quick. The car is slow to me as it sits.

As for the exhaust being the first item to address as mentioned above, the guys at Vintage tried out a different style exhaust that supposedly has less restriction and ended up making less power. If anything the best flowing exhaust compared to the current exhaust on the car is MAYBE worth 20 RWHP with a tune. And I highly doubt it's even that much. A little restriction is good for the engine with the exception being in a turbo application.
