Title: What mods would I have to make...
Post by: thundergrowl on March 29, 2008, 10:31:36 PM
...if I picked up this exhaust (http://"http://www.nlclassifieds.com/classifieds/Automotive/Parts/66691") for the V8 base model? I've heard that I would have to extend it in a couple places. Would it be worth it?

You'll also need Mustang shorty headers. That H-pipe won't bolt up to your manifolds. Plus the pipes between the H-pipe and lers (Flow tubes?) will be too short (because of the longer wheelbase of these cars).

Well I can't see it, but it's as the others say except for my off road Hooker system... Turndowns are just right and the extension pipe had to be shortened a bit...

For $500.00 you should be able to buy headers,off road H or X pipe,lers and tails.Tips also.Get on Ebay and look around.Also,check the Corral,there's always good parts from those guys for sell cheap.I got my Flowmasters for $50.00.Not bad.
