The gas tank.Notice where they ran their tail pipes - I'm seriously contemplating doing the same, but I don't think I'd let the tips stick out so far.
Hell, for that matter, what's saying someone couldn't run the pipes straight out the back like they do on 5.0 Fox LXs...??
I associate that exhaust routing with late '70s GM A bodies. I miss the days of seeing those all over the place.Notice where they ran their tail pipes - I'm seriously contemplating doing the same, but I don't think I'd let the tips stick out so far.

Ah, I get ya, even with your crude rendering that makes it look like it has a blown head gasket.My rudimentary Paint edit:
I want his tailpipes, but I'm not brave enough to run a pipe that big under my gas tank.
1976 Cobra build
This is my 1976 Cobra ii. I got it when I was 10. I am now 16. My dad bought it for me for christmas from someone he worked with. It is a real cobra ii. It was backhalfed. I havn’t done to much work on it. Me and my dad have always worked on old cars together and I have never been into...www.stangnet.com

There's nothing wrong with the starter location on a Northstar, Toyota and BMW also hide them under intakes. It's the quality of the starter that is the problem.That and it's just one more thing in the way should someone require access to the tank. It's probably fine 99.9% of the time, it just reminds me of the Northstar starter placement....

I'm just yankin yer chain, under the intake really is a silly place to put a starter, but BMW and Toyota don't get the flack for it GM did because Denso starters last 150,000 miles or more in most cases, even living in the heat that gets trapped under the intake manifold (my 4Runner being an example, 140k miles, original starter).I'm talking about having one more thing in the way to service the part, it's just that Northstar engines have a reputation for it BECAUSE of the -ty starters. Like I said, running the exhaust pipes under the tank probably wouldn't be a big deal until you had to do something that required dropping the tank, which doesn't happen very often - if at all - once everything is in place. It might be a different story if you were to install an electric pump in the tank, but that's a whole other ball of wax for most IIs. My personal opinion of it is more on the aesthetic side, it would just look weird to have them under the tank. Kinda the same feeling if the tail pipes ran under the quarter panels and out the rear, it would probably look weird. But in that case I think it's most likely because I've never seen one like that so I have no real point of reference to judge from.
I love it, but not $10k love it. I love that it's falsely advertised as a King Cobra when it's clearly a "billboard" Cobra II, and has the Stallion/Ralleye steering wheel... not to mention the badly installed gauges and switch panel.I think I've posted this one before....
