98 Cobra Magnapacks BBK X w/o cats

• 98 Cobra - Magnapacks ... my other exhaust video
this vid was taken when it was 30 degrees outside. the exhaust sounds deeper in person.
stock manifolds
bbk x (cat less (off road)) and yes the bbk x adds more rasp than a better flowing x pipe.
magnaflow magnapacks
CJ pony lowering springs. strange adjustable struts/shocks.
1/2 of a coil cut off front springs without front spring isolators, isolators are installed in the rear.
18" saleen wheels
285/35/18 rear 255 front
The Cobra is now gone to a good home, bought a 2011 GT.

[@Endthenonsense]

The 94-04 Mustang Gts and cobras will be the new muscle cars of yesteryear just like the 60-70s muscle cars.......keep your Gts and cobras my friends!! They will be the most sought after in coming years

[@PhxBullyTeam]

They are very rare to find now in decent condition & low miles

[@jamisgood21]

I got a 94 Cobra with under 40K on the clock! Nearly prestine car. LOVE IT! Staying in my stable forever.

[@dennisbraxton3770]

I have a manual 98 Gt Pushing 525 at the wheels,and I don’t have any plans of getting rid of it ha ha.

[@Adamdocktorre]

Just bought a 96 cobra mystic :)

[@_swizzlestikk_5882]

Adam Docktor Realtor lucky bastard 🤙🏻🧡

[@nickys1008]

I've never heard a car sound so good at its normal idol

[@DevasionX]

best sound i heard so far

[@gordysuggs]

love the sound of magnaflow on a 98 cobra...buddy of mine has 98 cobra with empty glasspacks and they are one of the best sounding cars around in my opinion + they are pretty damn fast even in stock form

[@AkronKid330]

Classic video. I always come back to it every so often lol

[@azizshavershian2065]

samesies lol

[@scdork]

Every time I see a video with the camera left on the ground I wonder how many times someone ran up and snatched it.

[@playsinmud]

LMAO at the Formula One... That had me rollin'!!

[@brettsmith4238]

Shot sounded good though

[@briandesjardins728]

def one of the nicest iv ever heard/seen good work man

[@BLACKOMAMBO]

The speed off clip at the end sound like a flatplane voodoo, I love it

[@wickedgt7177]

Just did same exhaust set up on my 96 cobra best sounding set up ever

[@Hawk-hb1xi]

Ok I have a 1998 Mustang GT Cobra Clone and I love to death. It has flowmasters that make it sound orgasmic to the ears, but I saw that Cobra sitting there at the beginning of the video and I have to say that is the SEXIEST cobra I have ever seen. These are the kind of cars that you just don't sell. You keep it, don't let anyone drive it, and most of all, baby it like no other lol.

[@aab434]

Myn looks the exact same. These 94-98 mustangs only looked good in black No offense to anyone

[@Hawk-hb1xi]

SOOOO...my 98 GT was totalled lol. So I got compensated and bought a black 1994 Mustang Cobra 5.0. It has 65k miles. Really lucky I was able to get it. It's my second car.

[@RomVlad]

+Hawk 411 How are you liking it? I have a DD '96 GT in Midnight Blue Pearl and a '95 Rio Red Cobra as a second car. They are fun to drive! I have been tempted to sell the Cobra because I do not drive it much but it is mint w/ only 44k miles and I'm afraid I will regret it- I feel they will only go up in value.

[@Hawk-hb1xi]

RomVlad Man I am absolutely loving it. All of my neighbors saw that I got another mustang and they were even more shocked because it's a big step up from my other car. I don't plan on racing it but I do daily it because why not. You should definitely hold on to that cobra because they are becoming increasing rare thanks to kids my age constantly wrapping them around trees and basically racing them everywhere they go. Keep it and wax it every week like your life depended on it. It will be worth a fortune in the years to come. You can count on it.

[@OEMPlus]

@@aab434 LOL wrong

[@carlosgavino6874]

Omg what an amazing exhaust note just awsome

[@brandondavis7005]

Trying to get my 94 to sound like this one!! Think Ive watched this vid a couple thousand times haha..

[@NickThePilotUSA]

you have a pushrod 302 cam in block motor. he has a 4 cam dohc 281. they will never sound the same

[@brandondavis7005]

Thnx for the info Nick

[@reece8588]

Brandon Davis did you ever get your 94 to sound like that? Bc I just got a 94’ mustang cobra and was wondering if you did

[@petrolhead8851]

That formula one sound was bad ass! I wish my 96 cobra sounded like that

[@juanmendez4535]

best sound I hear and a mustang no lie

[@AkronKid330]

I'm with you

[@allentraylor5659]

Anderson B21 cam would compliment those mufflers

[@5dollarsbuster]

That cobra sounds pissed!

[@blvk_sky]

That crackling is nasty.

[@gsc2835]

Yea I love the popping reminds me of old muscle cars

[@ArnoldWatson]

The car sounds AWESOME!!! Great video too.

[@musclevstuners5685]

Music to my ears

[@jamesvwalker268]

Sounds freakin killer man! This is the way a COBRA is supposed to sound! It's angry and screaming out it's soul Lol

[@jamesoconnell5974]

Hey at least in 96 they got the modular 305 hp decent power plant to mod. The reason why I was okay to go with a 96 Cobra not being able to find a terminator I originally wanted. And I'm pushing 493 at the wheels it's a monster when it hooks up lol working on updating the suspension. BBK sound bad ass!!

[@ryan422423]

Sounds like a strom a blowing in pretty badass

[@erwing.3902]

Absolutely Awesome...not from this world! Perfect Car, perfect Sound! I love it!

[@skiviestoner]

I came at 0:42... I feel sad for my mostly stock 98 GT SN95 4.6L SOHC BS. LUL

[@Djuane]

skiviestoner get yourself a offroad X or H pipe and mufflers dont really matter almost everything will sound beastly lol. heres my old 98 gt that woke the dead kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZOrnaRqntiWhKc

[@Byeofcr1]

Sounded damn good! I miss my 97! I saw ur comment on my video but forgot my youtube password lol i had 4.30s and also sold it for a 2011! Leaps and bounds ahead of the cobra i got stainless works lt's, catted x, jpc over axles, gt500 ab, airaid and a AED tune. Installing it all this weekend ill post sound clips.

[@laptoph4x]

lol, it didnt hurt anything in the slightest, thank you. There is a rev limiter for a reason, and it is perfectly safe to hit it, as its sole purpose is to prevent your motor from over revving. Its a whole different thing to hit the rev limiter for 5 min at a time.

[@jonp5760]

Wow!! I think I just found the setup I want on my cobra. Its got 40 series flows with an off-road H right now. Sounds OK but yours sounds incredible.

[@sedric6153]

THIS IS THE BEST SOUNDING MUSTANG YOU WILL EVER HEAR

[@bkoldy]

I love the sound and look of this car hope to see more videos on this

[@laptoph4x]

it is a loud setup but it has very little drone, you notice a huge difference switching from flows to magnapacks. They are loud on the outside, but MUCH quieter than flows on the inside, you can actually hold a convo.

[@TheDman52]

thanks for the response! think this will be my next setup

[@beastcx2]

can't beat the sound of those 96-98 Cobras! what size or part number Magnapack did you have on this setup!? ..If you can remember thanks!

[@rodthestud]

Gotta love the 96 to 98 cobras.

[@ITSJRSVT]

Beautiful sounding cobra!

[@mcocell]

Nice exhaust note dude!

[@laptoph4x]

@sparky98cobra in my opinion a chambered muffler should never be on a 4v motor. putting magnapacks on your car it will sound HEAPS better inside and out, and they wont drone like the flowmasters. An X pipe is really the way to go with magnapacks or stingers, but it will sound some what the same but obviously with the tone of an H pipe. From my experience an H pipe with magnapacks will sound slightly more choppy than a X pipe around 2,000-2,700. the magnapacks really scream above 2,700rpm

[@2004Acemangt]

ooo man the formula one at the end was funny and cool!!!!!!!

[@09portillo]

Good lawwwwwd! The sound of a high revving V8, I need new pants. Now I am really considering swapping my X for the bbk unit, even though bbk is not my first choice but that sounds mean and loud.

[@c83j57]

I ♥️ the redline thank you

[@loud94beast]

thanks =D i just ordered the 14" magnapacks for my 1994 silverado 5.7L hopefully she will sound good when i get them

[@vanessaulloa7413]

Que chulada de carro!! i love you Mustang the best american muscle car buen gusto de los estadounidenses Mustang para siempre Mustang forever

[@GoGoggansGo]

I agree H pipe for the gt X pipe for the cobras.

[@isthisforreal04]

jealousy is not good

[@laptoph4x]

@DMTDiablita thanks bud, i cant wait to install some kooks long tubes and really make it growl.

[@Epson5000]

sick camera angle

[@iPlayDrums4You]

best sounding V8 ever

[@TonyH2468]

I hated the body style of the 95-98 mustangs. But its's such a mean car i'd still take one lol

[@laptoph4x]

when i took this video the motor had about 5k miles on it. that car changed drastically for the year + that i owned it. put about 3k $ into it, replacing most of the wearable parts/hoses/maintenance and adding mods. off road x/magnapacks/msd coil packs/ wires/plugs/ CAI/ IMRC delete/ tune /next mod was gonna be 3.73's and a 100 shot, but i sold it for a 2011 GT.

[@04GTLOVER]

IMRC delete? What's IMRC stand for?

[@thetroll3899]

wow someone opens her up during and exhaust video!

[@NamMy09]

The F1 clip sounds like the 08' M3s. Lol Badass Cobra man

[@jordanpark8980]

GR8! same exhaust on my SN95

[@laptoph4x]

EBS30 lowering springs from CJ pony parts. I took out the spring isolators too.

[@laptoph4x]

@simonmustang these cars with similar mods as mien run 280-290 rwhp and when its cooler, 50 degrees and below add 10-15hp to that. the 96-98 cobras have IMRC controller issues, you can delete them or zip tie them open, easy fix. google "IMRC zip tie" or "cobra IMRC delete" something among those lines and there is alot of info on various forums. i have quite a few mods, power mods is about all thats left. long tubes, forced induction, rear gears.

[@laptoph4x]

@tronje2324 there is no such thing as an axle back for these cars, that is only 2005 and up. all exhaust systems for these cars have the mufflers in front of the axle.

[@ITSJRSVT]

I bet that thing will sound even better! Im looking into some long tubes my self, i already have the maggiepacks ;)

[@coreyburns2074]

No car on earth sounds better than a mustang

[@2vgod460]

I think off-road H pipe sounds way better has that old school muscle car sound!! I have that’s with flow masters 40s, I had bassani x pipe removed or for a bbk H

[@laptoph4x]

thanks, i just sold it for a 2011 GT though. LET THE MODDING BEGIN....

[@louismax4326]

No longer have the car. Bought a 2011 GT. Had long tubes on it. Motor blew up. Put a forged motor in and its twin turbo now. Look at my other videos.

[@laptoph4x]

oh and your v6 sounds so much better LOL. Please...

[@speeddemon0712]

beautiful cobra

[@CoryBouLou]

so this is by far the best sounding stang i've heard, i have a 02 GT with the same x pipes but with flowmasters, where did you buy the catless magnaflow magnapacks

[@layden4]

That sounds really good though

[@AronaathWoW]

god that stang sounds fucking pissed the fuck off awesome man

[@vgmccoy83]

I want this car!!!...nice vid

[@TheRenard10]

1:32 & throughout, the engine sounds dangerously furious!!!!!!!!! Question: What's the difference between a Ford Mustang & a Saleen Cobra?

[@leonardr6704]

Holy shit I wish that formula one sound was possible on a mustang in real life :O

[@MrMuffinman4]

god damn thats fast. sounds amazing

[@Mangobrain82]

sohc is 2. meaning there is a single cam over each head. dual is 2 cams over each head

[@eriviere002]

Sounds fantastic.. I have borla stingers on my 99cobra

[@Floresbrandon95]

So for anyone that's familiar with this set up. There's the Magnaflow competition catback. Is that set up referred to the "Magnapacks"? Or is Magnapacks it's own catback?

[@JTheMoneyable]

I liked this because of the end part alone haha

[@iammalloy]

I like my offroad bbk H (96 Cobra with magnapacks) but I will say that X is the way to go for lower ets for a few reasons. after 2500 rpm the h becomes non functional and you basically have straight pipes, with a non chambered muffler and no cats you lose TQ and also the X functions throughout the rpm range causing a scavenging effect when the gasses merge...Ive never heard that an H is more raspy than an X. It has a deeper sound more like classic muscle where X is more exotic tuned sounding.

[@The147tacammo]

Pure sweet sound

[@MrDavidelliottjr]

Very nice car.

[@laptoph4x]

yes, with a tuner.

[@whitevenom97]

2 guys have peter on their breath!

[@Mustangrocket98]

Nice on my gt i have slp and offroad x pipe

[@laptoph4x]

@TheDman52 that setup is loud ingeneral, but the magnapacks didn't drone. a friend had flowmasters and they are complete garbage.

[@laptoph4x]

yes. stock manifolds

[@HANOMotorsports]

Awesome video

[@TheWheelLifeChad]

Tell me about it. My 98 GT used to have a bbk off road X-pipe w/ flowmasters going into dumps right near the rear axle... drone/rasp city. You'd have to keep on the throttle slightly for it to be semi quite inside the cabin otherwise, if you're letting off or getting on it your ears would feel like they were going to start bleeding. Trying to find a nice Cali legal catted X-pipe now since I had to put the stock H-pipe back in due to needing smog... I hate California car laws...

[@cptngumby12]

Bad Ass!!

[@brolicbrooklyn]

Nice vid.

[@KavaniLoyan]

IMRC's? SOunds good. I may be picking up a redfire red 98 Cobra soon.

[@shotemup123]

sounds just like my 02

[@xtreme3484]

No my h pipe isnt raspy at all.... Its crisp and nice just not as loud as a x pipe under wot. I had spintechs before this and those were insane.

[@Tee781]

I wish it was a way of getting that sound without cutting my cats off..

[@TimDwg]

Yeah I agree. Too raspy for me.

[@sandmansimms5704]

lol i guess you sped up the audio for the formula one lol???

[@kristosvt]

Needs single chamber flow masters. These mags don’t do this car justice.

[@TR3KS]

😍😍😍

[@cjohns024]

Sounds so good man! I have almost the same setup on my '04 GT, I have an off road Magnaflow X-Pipe to the Magnapack cat-back system. Sounds almost identical to yours and you gotta love that drone win you shift. I love it! Awesome car man, check out mine on my channel.

[@coastguard21fan]

Hahahaha. Sweet sounding car bro, from one v8 owner to another.

[@fireman62truck]

incorrect its called the red zone bc your not to touch that zone bc every second your in it forget 5 minutes your putting added stress on the rod and main bearings. 5 min or 1 second doing it 100 times is the same thing then when you wander why your rod snapped into the cylinder ?

[@layden4]

I got IMRC stuck open bbk off-road x w 40 series flows it crackles a lot lol

[@the1withnoname496]

Are magnaflow magnapacks the same magnaflow competition series??

[@laptoph4x]

13.2 @107 with stock rear gears and street tires... spinning 1st gear. so if i kept the car it would have 4.10's and a set of bigs and littles which im sure it would have run a 12.8 AT LEAST...

[@tenchfries2124]

Was there anything else you felt the car needed before you sold her? or was that set up close to "perfect" for you? Doing a Cobra swap in my Black 97 GT along with cobra Front brakes/rotors, the SVE 1/2" lowering springs from American Muscle, along with just regular motorcraft Shocks and Struts. At first I'll be using stock cobra manifolds with an O/R H pipe and Flowmaster 44s then switching to an O/R x pipe with Magnapack magnaflows later on, both dumped at the axle. Any tips or pointers are BEYOND appreciated!

[@laptoph4x]

TenchFries good luck with the build. I would have done long tubes if I still owned the car and went with a provider. at least that was the goal before I sold it. but it sounded great.
