H-pipe, will it work? Reply #3 – December 17, 2005, 02:04:26 AM I've been watching the same H pipe for my 88 Sport (5.0). I have the headers. I took my Bird to a ler shop to diagnose posible broken pipe. The Y pipe is broken right at the Y but is held up by a cross bracket about a foot behind the y and ahead of the lers.The tech pointed out the fact that the AOD linkage will be in the way of the driver side of the H pipe if I try to do it.Any tips on what to do?Larry B.P.S. Could you reply to my Email address as well as here in case I don't get back here for a while? I need to decide to stay stock or try the H. Thanks. Quote Selected

Reply #6 – December 18, 2005, 01:53:32 PM amooset: The 5.0 H-pipe will work on the 94-97 3.8 mustang headers, ive gotten ahold of 2 differnet people that ran buisness' based on 3.8L's, and they told me that the h-pipe will work, but it takes a little bit of force, and when its installed, itll sit slightly crooked, but it works Quote Selected
