System Types Explained
Cat-Back Exhausts
A popular choice for those wanting improved sound and performance without touching emissions components. A cat-back system replaces everything from the catalytic converter backwards, typically including the centre section and rear silencer. Expect a deeper tone, modest performance gains, and a noticeable visual upgrade.
Turbo-Back Exhausts
For serious performance seekers. Turbo-back systems replace the entire exhaust from the turbocharger outlet, including the downpipe and catalytic converter. These systems offer significant improvements in flow and power, but may require ECU remapping and are often intended for track or off-road use depending on emissions compliance.
GPF-Back Exhausts
Designed for newer vehicles fitted with a Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF). A GPF-back system replaces the exhaust section after the filter, allowing for improved sound and aesthetics while retaining emissions hardware. Ideal for those wanting a sportier tone without affecting warranty or road legality.
Venom Range
Cobra’s Venom systems are the loudest of the lot, stripped of silencers for maximum sound and minimal restriction. These are raw, aggressive setups aimed at enthusiasts who want their car to shout its presence. Not for the faint-hearted, and typically best suited to track use or show builds.
Resonated vs Non-Resonated, what does it mean?
Resonated Systems include silencers that help reduce drone and keep the sound refined. Great for daily drivers who want performance without waking the neighbours.
Non-Resonated Systems remove these silencers for a louder, more aggressive exhaust note. Ideal for those who want to hear every throttle input and enjoy a more visceral driving experience.
With or Without Exhaust Valve?
With Valves: Cobra offers valved systems that allow drivers to switch between quiet and loud modes, perfect for balancing comfort and performance. These can be controlled via factory electronics or standalone remotes, depending on the vehicle.
Without Valves: Fixed systems offer consistent sound and performance, with fewer moving parts and a simpler setup. Great for those who know exactly what they want.
Tailpipe Options
Cobra Sport doesn’t just focus on performance, they understand that style matters too. Many of their systems come with a choice of up to six different tailpipe designs, including:
- Material finishes: Polished stainless steel, ceramic-coated black, carbon fibre
- Shapes: Slash-cut, inward rolled, straight cut, oval
- Sizes: Varying diameters to suit subtle or bold aesthetics
This means you can tailor your exhaust to match your car’s look, whether you’re going for understated elegance or full-on motorsport vibes. We've included some examples below to give you an idea of the variation!
