Title: Exhaust options?
Post by: slowfoxbird on December 29, 2005, 08:13:22 AM
I have an '88 T'bird Sport, with SO 5.0, and floor shifter.  I am building a mild HO 5.0 to put in, and do not want to use the factory "single" exhaust.  I have a set of '94-95 MAC equal length headers, and a '94-95 stang H-pipe.  I know I have to have double hump crossmember, and that I will have to modify the O2 wires.  My question is whether or not the '94-95 H-pipe will fit, and then I can have my exhaust guy build the rest of the system to fit.

Since you have the floor shifter, that will be a huge headache you wont have to worry about. BBK and 50resto.com and other manufacturers make a kit to extend the O2 wiring so you wouldnt have to cut anything. I do not know if your H-Pipe will work, I used a BBK X-pipe for a Mustang 79-93 and it fit perfectly. The Flowmaster lers and tailpipes I used leave a lot to be desired. If I had the option to do it again, I would have had the lers and tailpipes custom bent.

No O2 holes in the headers, there are some in the H-pipe.  Do 87-93 Stangs have O2s in the H-pipe?

Yes, O2 mounting holes are in the H or X pipe.
