You have a V6 rear as it had the extra hook up, you can buy the hose from NAPA P/N 380371

well idk but this came out of a wrecked 96 cobra...i know b/c i pulled it...the only way the v6 is possible is if the guy took the 8.8 out and put the 7.5 in b4 he sold it to us..and the guy had no way of doing this and i could tell the rearend had never been out of the car...there for its an 8.8 and i guess the cobra brakes also had 2 ports on the P/S

I double checked myself, if you look on NAPAs website and use a 96 Cobra and GT you will get the same part Number with the single outlet brake hose P/N 380371. If you click on the V6 model you get the 2 port outlet hose P/N 380542. Someone had to switch rearends in that thing before you got to it. You may want to check the tag that is bolted to the diff cover for some info!

I was thinking that the car may have been a V6 car that someone put Cobra body panels on too. Do your Rear Rotors measure 11.65" and are they Vented?

If the brake line juction is over to the left side its an 8.8 and if you have the vented 11.65" rotors out back they are Cobras.
