Was wondeirng how many people installed a Radio in their car, and is it worth it? I'm sure you would need amps to push the sound to a level you could hear it. And at the same time would add to you going deaf sooner.
No radio for me. The sounds of the car are enough music for my ears.......
Yep, those big pipes are my radio.
The real answer is that No, I can't see how anyone could use a radio and get benefit from it. Just too loud in the cockpit with exhaust, engine, wind noise. I don't think it's real useable.

You'll never hear it over the sidepipes.

I was thinking of just mounting an amp in the trunk and having a connection for my I-pod hidden under the dash but I'm also re-thinking that Idea
I do not really like the way the speakers look cut in behind the seats and there is no room under the dash I realize the radio would be for traffic use only underway you would only hear muffling

No radio for me either.
If your thinking of installing one you might check out the Factory Five forum. I lot of those guys have installed radios in their cars and you can probably find a lot of info on it there.

No!

If I build one of these things, it won't have a radio.
Great info. Eric. Thanks.

I am in the minority, so here is my 2 cents. But when I build mine I am going to put a radio in. Back in the day I had a 1970 Trans-Am with side pipes. Granted I had to turn the radio up quite a bit when I rode around with the windows down, but I really enjoy driving with music. It is very rare for me to not have my radio on to this day and I don
I had a 67 Corvette roadster with a 427 and sidepipes and yes, you could hear the radio fine (probably the same as your Trans-Am). On those cars, the exhaust outlet is lower and further behind you than on a Cobra. I think if you drive/ride in a Cobra, you'll find that you won't hear anything but the exhaust as the outlet is basically right next to you.

music is a must.
Rock on Rock loud!
no one would hear me spit ;D
