Title: Exhaust Question
Post by: cougar1car on July 20, 2010, 06:09:11 PM
Is there a direct bolt on X or H pipe that will bolt up to an 88 Cougar with the 3.8? If so which one if anyone knows and what size should I be looking for ? I was kinda hoping to put duals on it prob 2 1/2"...

Thanks

2 1/4 inch would probably be fine.

I was think either of the two.. The V6 will not be staying in it forever but for now I just want dual exhaust.

is the 3 inch single exhaus suitable for the 3.8 engine with stock manifolds?

I'd go dual exhaust,decent turbo lers (No glass packs or other lers that make the car sound like a lawn mower). I had duals on my V-6 when I had it years ago.It actually sounded pretty good.Nice tips to help in the looks department as well.I had a ler shop fab them up.Couple of hours and $175.00 later,I was out the door.

I had a single 2.5" exhaust with a Cherry Bomb glass pack on my 19th Anniversary Cougar w/the V-6 & everybody swore up and down that it had a V-8 in it. There was a local Mustang club in town, and the guys didn't believe me until I lifted the hood to show them the 232 cubic inches of unadulterated fun.

I'm definitely going duals I am just trying to see if there is an H or X pipe that will bolt right up to my stock manifolds..

I have never seen a direct fit X or H for a 3.8
