Put the exhaust on yoursef and save a ton!  It's not a hard job.

I have stang headers on my bird as well.  No issues.

Holy  :eek: ! I had a guy bend a custom 2.25 dual exhaust for $400. If I had wanted 2.5 it would have been $450, and that's with cats!

The only issue I had was the tab on the drivers side motor mount. I just had to bend it outward a bit. Otherwise the factory Mustang headers and H-pipe fit perfect.
