Background: My brother has a ‘98 Cobra with a brutal exhaust leak where his current long tubes (don’t know brand) meet the heads. Gaskets are shot according to him and my dad who saw the car on a lift at the exhaust shop he’s going to use.
His car is lowered and I guess the current long tubes have quite a bit of denting, and they also mentioned that they’re significantly rusted from end to end.
My brother isn’t sure if he wants to just have the leak fixed with new gaskets, or if he should purchase a new pair of headers to have them installed when everything is disassembled.
Curious what you guys think. He isn’t looking to spend tons of money (this will already set back his 4.10 install a little while), but he knows it won't be super cheap since header work on these cars is such a joy.
Finally, the car is on the stock clutch and I know certain long tubes require the passenger header to be moved to do clutch work.
Open to thoughts and suggestions, or even if it might be worth it to look at mid length headers and run a different uncatted midpipe...
Thanks
