I have a 2004 Cobra with stage 4 comp cams, longtube headers, custom exhaust with electric cutouts. I was just wondering if anyone else has cutouts on their Cobra and if they are satisfied with the cutouts? I'm starting to think of going back to an aftermarket midpipe.

I heard it can make it sound mean but that's about all. Why are you thinking about going back or taking them off?

How do you like those stage 4 cams?

Well, before having the cutouts put in, my car had a great sound through a full exhaust. But with the cutouts, I can't get everything to seal and it constantly sounds like a bad exhaust leak. As for the stage 4 cams, I was a little weary about putting those in because I drive my car daily and I didn't want it to jerk at low speeds. But, the place that tuned my car did an amazing job tuning it, and it doesn't jerk at all. Therefore, I love them. I put in Comp Cams P.N. 106460 if you are looking into getting cams. You won't regret it unless you drive your car for gas mileage!

got the cutouts on mine but not the electronic throttle body lookin things. I just undo a few screws before hitting the track... a buddy of mine has the electronic cutout on his evo mr and it doesnt seem to leak... maybe yours arent seeling right?

Yeah, I know it doesn't seal right. The butterfly valve is metal closing onto metal. I'm thinking of just taken some gasket maker silicone and putting on the seal face of the butterfly valves. I'm waiting to hear from QTP, they keep giving me the run around though.

my buddy is getting his evo back saturday from having his head done, ill listen to his, maybe his leaks too but because its a 4 banger its not as noticeable... granted he has over 600awhp still when he idles its hardly noticeable... (must be nice) but ill listen to his tomorrow and see
