Took delivery of a cobra replica with a big block last month and got tinnitis (ringing in the ear) from the exhaust noise. Tinnitis doesn't have to necessarily be a ringing, it could be a constant swishing noise which is what I had -- a constant swishing noise in my right ear 24/7. It was starting to drive me crazy but fortunately, and I mean FORTUNATELY now is slowly going away as I stay away from the car for awhile. It is almost gone now and I consider myself lucky because according to what I read on the web the damage could have been permanent and I could have ended up hearing this noise as long as I lived, argghh!

So anyway, foam earplugs for me from now on and be careful out there.
