any H-pipe for a fox body mustang will work, be it with or without cats.  if you have to pass emmissions, get the one with the 2 high flow cats. if not, get the one without. after that your going to have to  get some measurments and lengthen the cat back  flow tubes (tubes before the ler) like 6" or so. then, your going to need the tail pipes lenthened almost a foot.  your also going to need hangers welded onto your car for a mustang, or have ones modified or made for your car, im sure you can figure something out tho, if not, get it situated and take it to an exhaust shop and have em button it up.

The tailpipe lengthening isn't nessecary with that kit. Ask cougarman. I've seen it with my own two eyes. :D

The only reason you would NEED the cats is if you have emissions testing or destroying the environment is a-ok in your book. :D
