1996 Cobra with SVO side exhaust

Hello,

I have a 1996 Cobra that I purchased three years ago from its original owner.
One of the main reasons I bought this particular Cobra was that it had the SVO
side exhaust option. According to the original owner, he also purchased this
particular Cobra off the showroom floor mainly because of the SVO side exhaust.
He further added that according to the salesman at the dealership, SVO side
exhaust was a factory installed option only at dealer request. Can anyone verify
this for me? Are there any Cobra owners that have the SVO side exhaust option
out there?

I have also been told that the SVO side exhaust system was an over the parts
counter purchase only. If this is true, how could my particular Cobra be on the
showroom floor with the side exhaust system installed?

I tried to contact the original dealership, but they changed hands several years
ago and purged all of their old records I also contacted SVT directly, and
they told me the SVO side exhaust system was not installed by them. So where
do I go from here to find the origin of my side exhaust system?

Finally, I was hoping the original owner could locate his purchase documents and
original window sticker - but he was not able to.

It would be great if a member here has the documentation that supports either
the purchase & installation of the SVO side exhaust option or a window sticker
identifying it as a factory option.

Can anyone help me out here?

Steve
