Cores in exhaust?

idesigner · February 17th, 2010, 09:25 PM

I got my 1999 Cobra today and the gentleman said he placed "some smaller cores" in the exhaust to quiet it down.

Since I am unfamiliar with this term, what are these and how can I go about removing them to make my car sound more beastly?

M.P. Cobra Fan · February 17th, 2010, 10:16 PM

Never heard of that. The only thing I can think of is he changed out the mufflers.

Yeah I thought that was a bit strange when he said that. It's a Bassani exhaust with an x-pipe. Guy knows Bassani personally apparently. The exhaust doesn't sound as meaty as I thought it would which is why I want to change it for a more throaty/deeper sound than what it has.

Bassani has baffles inside their tips.

Ok, now it makes sense.

I see there is an allen bolt to hold in the baffles. I tried taking them out and was successfull with one of them but the other I happened to strip the bolt and now I cant get it to move.

Any solutions on how to get this bolt out even when it has been stripped? I want to remove those baffles.

How bad did you strip it? Try hammering down a smaller allen head on to it.

Well after googling it I found a few solutions that I'm going to try. Ill try that next time before I ask the question, haha.
