Hmmm, Cobra eh! I think I could use that.
Attack the tracks with a GMC CobraTM pipe.
Every business needs a catch phrase. ;D

Thanks guys, looks like 85 -88 are the same then.

Standard pricing applies, chambers $440.00

I’m pretty much booked out till Easter at the moment but I can do something just after Easter.

I will need to check first if the pipe will fit the 91 model Crabman.
Did they lower the radiators in the later years?
Whats the story with the 'lowboy' pipes?

BTW export price is $ 400.00 plus postage

Thanks for that Jurado
Looks like my pipe may fit the 91 as they didn't lower the radiators when they made the pipe lower.
Is your 91 model the "565" engine?
I am led to beleive this model engine may be all the same fitment!!
