Hey I have a chance to buy a PYPES x-pipe for really cheap i was wondering if the gt and cobras are the same? I know magna flow sells one that fits both models. Thanks link to the x-pipe- Pypes 409 Stainless Steel Off-Road X-pipe (99-04 GT) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!
X-pipe question
- Thread starter 01cobrajm
- Start date
Yes they are the same from 99-04 as long as it is for stock exhaust manifolds
got the pypes o/r x from am on my 99 cobra so yea itll work
Hey a little heads up.. I just bought a pypes offroad x for my cobra and really wish I would've spent an extra hundred bucks and got a bassani or magnaflow- the pypes fits like garbage. Honestly. It hangs too low, the flanges are junk (ball flange reducer wouldn't seal with the stock studs) and the band clamps they give you are worthless.
I thought i'd save a little money- how hard could an x pipe be to make, right? Well the pypes kit I got cost me 3 times as much as the best system after I factored in the welding, headaches and exhaust leaks I had to fix.

I can't speak for the fit of the Pypes systems, but I thought the same when I bought my VRS o/r X and the fitment is terrible. Even with gobs of copper RTV they still won't seal with my LTs. I will be buying another style X before too long.
Get a Mac aluminized H! They FIT and sell in the $150 range!
The Xpipe sound is an acquired taste that hasn't won me over yet, I go by the philosophy if it aint broke don't fix it, Ford guys have been running H's since the dawn of the Fox Body and I've yet to see a dyno test where the Xpipe is blowing it away with more HP and Torque?? Anyone have any links?

I have used Pypes X-pipe and its good piece for its price!

You had the X pipe welded to your catback? You're gonna love life when you have to drop your trans.
LOL aint that the truth...
