What mods would I have to make...

...if I picked up this exhaust for the V8 base model? I've heard that I would have to extend it in a couple places. Would it be worth it?

You'll also need Mustang shorty headers. That H-pipe won't bolt up to your manifolds. Plus the pipes between the H-pipe and lers (Flow tubes?) will be too short (because of the longer wheelbase of these cars).

Well I can't see it, but it's as the others say except for my off road Hooker system... Turndowns are just right and the extension pipe had to be shortened a bit...
