More pics, more pics

 

Sweet!

 

would be interested in seeing the headers, and the rest of the system.

Only issue I see is going over a speed bump or something of the like.

Wayne (NY) -

Attached is a photo of your '82 with side pipes ! ! !

 

There was a post about it the other day but I'm not sure if its the same car.

Completely different cars Imo

 

One thing for sure about Lake pipes, it leaves little doubt in anyones mind that there is a V-8 living inside.

 

I like it, its different.
Can you post a sound clip or video file with sound?

 

I'm very interested in the bundle-o-snakes showing.

I'd love to see some undercarriage shots of this car on the lift to see how the pipes route from the motor to the side pipes.

Side-pipes make me think of my childhood in the late 70s/ early '80s and seeing hot-rodded C3 Corvettes. Well, that and leg burns.

 

The ..."the bundle-o-snakes showing" I assume that that is just like most factory five "Cobras" and is fake ..just for looks with a single inlet . Wayne's sidepipe looks much cleaner to me but all good fun, enjoy the cars that is what it is all about.

 

Wow Porsche made AC Cobras???

 

Most F5's I've seen look like this under the hood:



Funny thing is, the "fake" side pipes (as you call them) actually make more power on the stock 302 than the "true" 4 into 4 headers.

 

Perhaps the ones I have seen (only worked on one) looked at several , were not typical but they were the single inlet with dummy pipes for that "collector" look. Given the length of the primaries etc size of the engine makes sense that the single pipe works better.

 

The "kit" is setup to use the single collector.
There are now at least three different companies offering 4-4 FF5 headers.

I'm trying to find some unchambered side pipes before I cut mine open. Too damn quiet. My 79 - 928 is louder.

 

The FF I drove around made LOTS of noise stayed cool after I put a early 928 cooling fan behind the radiator !! so it was a hybrid
