I recently blew my motor and i am gonna swap an 01 cobra engine into my gt body. I was wonderin if the exhaust from my gt (MAC:LT's, ProChamber, Cat-back) will bolt onto the cobra engine.

I'm going to go ahead and say it wont fit. Considering the Cobra engine is MUCH more massive than the GT engine, I'd imagine things wont line up. I dont have a Cobra of course, so I guess you'll have to wait for hte SVT guys to answer.

Even if the LTs do fit, you don't want to use MAC Longtubes on a 4V engine...run a search and you'll understand why (hint: you will be looking for a third engine is no time).


*** Disregard my previous comment about the catback - it will fit! ***

sicne you are swapping motors then the cat back will work. i dont think the headers will fit though. the mid pipe will possibly work as i have seen mid pipes offered for all 4.6 motors regardless of cobra or gt. its not so much the block as they are all the same dimensions but the width of the heads themselves.

As already stated. Mid-pipe will still work and the cat-back will work because you're not changing out the rear end, just the motor.

Ditch the MAC LT's though! Even if they did fit on the 4v motor I wouldn't use them. Hell, I wouldn't even put MAC LT's on a Kia!

4 Valve heads have rectangular/oval exhaust ports, 2 valve heads have round exhaust ports...the headers absolutely will not fit as stated above...and if the headers don't fit the mid pipe won't fit either since you'll have to get different long tubes (stay away from MAC 4 Valve long tubes PLEASE!!!) ...The catback should fit fine since it already fit with your prior setup..
