An X-pipe designed for the 03/04 Cobra will fit a 99-04 GT/Cobra. Go to any exhaust company that sells X/H pipes and look up the part numbers... they are the same. The only think you may need are O2 sensor extensions.

You sure U.M? I thought the 99/01 cobra midpipes were the same as the 99+ GTs, but i thought the 03/04 cobra midpipe was different adn wouldn't fit. Maybe im wrong.

Goodluck Grannycar =)

It appears as if Bassani does have a different P/N listed for Cobra/Mach vs GT. Why I don't know because the other manufactures use the same mid pipe for all 99-04 platforms.
