Ordered the zard low mount special edition from amazon while on vacation. It arrived five days later. Awesome fit and finish and install was a breeze.

Here is a before shot, fresh out of the shipping box.

The difference between stock and special edition.

Completed installation about 30 minutes later.

Post install revealed slight popping and bad vibration as rpms increased. Drilled out top mounting hole on zard pipe to 1/2" and added high temp silicone grommet. Also added heavy duty zard exhaust clamp that I had as a leftover from my zard install on my hyper 1100s a few years back.

Another test ride indicated no problems at all. Vibes same as stock. Throttle is less twitchy. Engine revs much easier and sounds flippin awesome!

Very happy customer.

Thanks for the update. For what it is worth, did you get the homologated version, and do you prefer the DB killers in or out? Also, please post an closeup shot of the grommet mod and exhaust clamp.

Love that Cobra!! =)

The special edition low mount has removable baffles. Not sure I would call them Db killers though, as they are pretty loud in place. I think there may be different sizes that the end user can use to tune the exhaust. They are held in place by snap rings and I noticed the top unit actually spins in place. May have to do something about that.

Not sure I'm going to change anything right now as the sound is awesome and the bike runs really nice. ****, it should come like this new.

Sorry, I didn't take a pic of the grommet or exhaust clamp. Next time I'm into it I will take a few shots as I apply sealant at all the joints to eliminate any leaks. Absolutely no popping at all right now tho. Very happy.

Love my cobra! FFR chassis and body with 4.6 all aluminum EFI 32 valve DOHC V8 5 speed detroit locker power 4 wheel ABS disc brakes and adjustable power rack and pinion steering. Truly a joy to pilot!

Every time I play with my other toys, the cobra gets jealous and follows me around. Really!

Fantastic design, looks like it came from a top designer.
This is my next toy for my scrambler!
Found this clip on youtube from a happy customer, other than the original clip made by Zard.
