Will a 99GT bassani x-pipe fit my 98 cobra? I know the fittings are the same but how about the tranny mount etc.

Also Don't 98 cobras have 99+ muffler hanging mounts?

Nope the 99GT has a totally different tranny mount than a 98 cobra does. 99GT's the exhaust doesn't mount to the tranny area where as the 98's do. You might be able to make it work with a little effort though. Also in the rear the tail pipes hang differently. 99 GT's mount on a rubber mount right below the rear valance where 98 cobras mount like an old fox body mustang.

Now I was told the (98) is different than the 96-97 cobras in the fact that the exhaust hangers are the 99 style. Also the flange on the passenger side is the same as the 99gt's right?
