every one i did has been a mustang cat back lengthened and mustang h pipe. stock shorties are nice and cheap, and i like all the ball and socket s on the catbacks. the lers need your old hangers welded to them, so you can use the body hanger. the tranny x member hangers wount line up, but i never used em. and the tailpipe hangers have to be cut off and you need to use your stock ones, good with a 88 5.0 because you have 2 of them lol.

also, i like the way mac lers sound. chambered lers are imo the best for a NA motor, and have a nice sound. i save the glass pac stuff and strait through ones for forced induction like my tc.

Cherry Bombs are the original glass paks.  Just a round, straight though cylinder, packed with long strand fiberglass.  They give a nice deep rumble.  Sounds nice, not like everybodys stangs with flowmasters.
