When I bought my Cobra new in Jan. of '96 it had 2.5 inch stock tailpipes (maybe I can dig them out of the garage with the stock mufflers), and you could always pick out the 97-98 by the larger pipes. I see you are from Canada, maybe they were are all the same in metric.

The Cobras delivered to Canada were virtually the same ones as the ones in the States with only the instrumentation being metric and having running lights.There was no difference in the exhaust. Weather US or Canadian spec Cobras the stock H pipe and catbacks were 2.25 inches with the exhaust tips being enlarged to 2.75 inches. This is directly from the SVT sales brochure.

Aftermarket X/H pipes and catbacks were 2.5 inches with the exhaust tips being 3 inches and in some cases 3.5 inches depending on the manufacturer.Trust me on this, my Bassani X pipe 2.5 inches, was visually bigger than my stock 2.25 inch H pipe, same for the cat back.
