Exhaust options February 22, 2006, 05:00:33 PM What options do I have as far as exhaust goes? I know the headers and midpipe will work from a foxbody mustang, but not sure what's out there in the way of catback.87 Turbo Coupe 5.0 Quote Selected
Exhaust options Reply #1 – February 22, 2006, 05:12:24 PM lots of people say mustang parts work fine. Just get the LX one. Other people say you have to lengthen it. YOu could always get the pipes from a mark7 and have extra length. Quote Selected
Exhaust options Reply #2 – February 22, 2006, 05:39:03 PM how much u want to spend? cheap would be stock stang shorties, cheap offroad h pipe, and a mustang catback lengthened by the shop (fox body), or one from stinger performance. all the catbacks iv had were lengthened mustang ones, they added a few inches the tailpipe right after the ler.expensive, but sweet would be a nice set of ciramic coated or stainless LT's, good luck finding ones that fit (if you switched MC's their are some), and flow tubes, x or H, go'n to a stainless catback, again if its not for a tbird its going to have to be coustom or lengthened. ATR used to make sweet stainless exhaust, you could get the tailpipes from them, and stinger makes stuff for our cars too. just stay away from sn95 midpipes, their close, but still off.

Could you post a link to where I could find stinger performance and ATR? I'm not familiar with either of those companies. Quote Selected
Exhaust options Reply #4 – February 22, 2006, 06:52:57 PM http://projecthp.ford23.com/stingerperformance.html Will also fit Thunderbird if tip is lengthened. ~Special Order Item~ http://www.atrperformance.com/ that is the ATR site, but it didnt work for me just now. as far as i know they still sell the turbo coupe catback, stainless 2 highflow 2.5" lers with tailpipes. you might have to call them tho.keep in mind they are for turbo coupes, so all we can realy use is the catback stuff, they sell chrome tailpipes for us tho, so it does help thats all i can think of that actualy has any exhaust for us, but any exhaust shop will just weld a section of pipe to your catback to lengthen it for you, both of mine did.
