Hi guys, just bought my first 93 Cobra about a month ago and considering changing the oil to a Synthetic Blend. If I remember right, changing to synthetic led to issues with an oil leak form the pan. I would go synthetic blend, but wanted your thoughts on that.
Next, I need to change out the exhaust! Its just to quiet for me. I would keep the stock exhaust for a return to stock in the future.
What are your thoughts on the MAC H-pipe and catback? I'm leaning towards BBK ceramic LT's, BBK or MAC H, and a MAC or Flowmaster AT catback.
I remember there being a website out there that had sound clips of each of these but cant find it anymore.

Re: 2 quick questions-Oil and Exhaust
I've been using Mobil 1 for years in my Mustangs with no issues. If your engine is not leaking oil to begin with, it won't start leaking because you decided to switch to synthetic oil.
For a nice, deep rumble that's so much better than stock - BBK long tubes, BBK off-road H pipe and Flowmaster 40s. You won't be disappointed.

Are you using the Mobil 1 full synthetic?
Glad to hear about the exhaust. Hats what I was leaning towards.
Thanks!
