I second the Borla Stinger as well.......just installed my Bassani catted X-pipe and OMG.....it's L O U D, kinda "BLATTY" as well. Don't know if I like it just yet, but the next tune will tell the tale if it was money well spent.
3 inch would be loudest I think. All the other 2 1/2 inch sound almost identical!!! No matter what anyone says, we had three cobras together on the dyno, 2 with Bassani, 1 with Magnaflow, and I've heard a Stinger. They all sound almost identical.
There are links to how it sounds on that thread. They are on 99 and 01 Cobras, but the catback sounds essentially the same on my 2003. I think that it sounds much better with an x-pipe. There is a link to a video of my 1999 Cobra convertible with that catback, a cat x-pipe, and FRPP headers. I love the way it sounded. At some point, I want to add an x-pipe to my '03. With the x-pipe and lowering springs, it did ride very low. I blame this partly on the x-pipe, but I also ran 30 series tires.
My wife hates the way it sounds, but most men have good things to say about it.
uhm...i dont know.
Bingo's tried the Stinger & FRPP cat backs. If he thinks that the Stinger is to loud & sticks with the FRPP...that tells me some thing.
I'm in a Cobra Club in Georgia and MAC LT Headers with mac pro chamber and 3" catback exhaust is by far the loudest and best sounding on a 03' Cobra!!!!
