I used spring clasps ,welded on, to connect the sidepipes and headers and then band clamped the clasp handle so it would'nt pop free. Then used heat wrap around all the individule header pipes and wraped it around the connection point, stuffing pieces of the heat wrap in the gaps.

It helped immensly with the heat from the headers and cut down alot of header noise. Heat reduction was approx 30%. Noise reduction about the same and now I can listen to the sweet sounds of the sidepipes roar and when you do get the pleasure of working on a car that thousands of people who can't ever afford to buy, as we did, when you are checking the timing , it does'nt get as hot.

I too had issues with my BDR, but came to find that I love to work on these things. problem solving is in our blood enjoy it! I've met alot of helpful people who own cobras, hotrods, or none at all who just want the simple pleasure of helping fix a cobra.
