I've been searching and haven't seen much besides 100% custom setups, or the SW/Kooks setups. Is there any other way out there???:confused:

I'm definately not paying almost $2k for headers and an h-pipe, but I also don't want the hastle of coming up with a totally 1 off custom exhaust system.

So are there any stang setups that come CLOSE to fitting the car? Even if they're shorty or equal length, that's fine, better clearance anyway.

If I could get a reasonable mustang exhaust setup and then just customize the back of the H-pipe to fit the stock MM cat-back that'd be AWESOME!!

I have access to a free set of long tubes too, but they're off a 98(?) Mustang GT 4.6, will they work or no? Probably not but it was worth a shot...

Pay the money, or pay the money.
Those are your 2 options for aquiring a really good exhaust for our cars. :up:

Yep. Pay up front for the kit that fits and works, or pay later for somebody to custom build it for you and hope for the best.

I agree with the above statements if you want results go with something that is proven. If you want to gamble go to Vegas.

Stainless works header back system into Super 44's, stock over the axle into delete tips.

Ignore the dyno, I know it was done wrong.

Ok, fine, so then what would fit our cars? Any mustang parts compatable?

Maybe the headers I have??

Yep. I can speak for the Kooks myself. I have over 150,000 miles on them and they still look and work great. Quite a bit different than those old 20,000 mile Hookers.

I didn't know that you measured Hookers by the mile! Thought is was by the $'s :dunno:

+1 for Kooks

I only wish I'd have gotten the coated ones.

Swap the manifolds for Cobra units and the x pipes will fit with about a 4" extension welded on.....

Then custome from there back.

I did that in "round 1" of exhaust modes and got away with spending about $1200.00
