I've been on the fence about getting another cobra myself.

Good luck with the sale bro!

My cousin just bought a 680 rwhp Kenne Bell Cobra. I rode in it Saturday and he offered to sell it to me. Once the V is gone its game time.

My boy has a whipple cobra like my old one that makes around the same. Hard to look at anything else considering how easy the cobras are to make fast.

Congrats man! The 1-7/8 make for tight fit with the steering shaft if u have aftermarket motor mounts. Nothing that can't be fixed though. I'm about to clearance mine because the solid UMI mounts have the header vibrating on the steering shaft.

Well we ground lightly on the steering shaft which i hoped would cure it but it didnt. I dont want to grind a noticable spot in the shaft since it's detrimental to the car staying straight on the road so im going to take the shaft off and get a rag and a ball peen and dent it just a tad. No one will see it anyway and it doesnt need to be dented much. The solid mounts are awesome though. I notice a little more vibration at idle but i personally prefer everything being solid and tight.

I'm installing CS mounts whenever I install these. I wonder if I can shim them if they're a little short.

My buddy looked at shimming mine but he said he didnt care for the way it would have sat in there. Said its much more solid being bolted directly in the way they are designed. Its not going to hurt my feelings to work that header tube just a tad. It wont take much since its barely touching and it wont have any effect on flow or performance.
