So the suggestion is to have a $hit house looking under body kit to get passed then throw on the live side pipes, i've tried a couple of versions now and run cats and mufler in the tube at the required length, and with out extending the length up like a truck stack some 1.8m high, doubt i can get any quieter.
Ah but i like it loud and have the 4 RTA slips to prove it with fines and mods last year costing over 4 k even now its quieter but not legal, sorry for the news. But have been busting for Mike to fire his magic motor up.




4 slips and 4k....


Not trying to be too pessimistic but I can see a potential problem if lots of people have loud side pipes or obvious mods for that matter. If some sh!thead from the RTA gets wind of all these loud, smelly & fast cobras then we could all be stuffed. Just ask 750HP (Craig)

It would be concerning if a few cobras got pulled up enough times to make somebody take a closer look at the cobra scene. All it takes is one RTA moron to come along to a meeting, take down a few number plates (or even just vet the RTA database) and bingo – audit notices are in the mail.

I’m all for having fun but I think when it comes to modding cobras, and lets face it, there are more than quite a few that are, I think we need to think globally instead of how deep our own pockets are.

I can think of no more obvious illegal mod than working sidepipes. There are more subtle ways to get HP.
