Exhaust question...

February 22, 2012, 01:04:26 PM

Hey guys I'm new to the board. Just bought an 87 Tbird about a month ago and knew it would need an exhaust. its a stock 5.0 right now. I wanna go dual with it and I've been told fox body h pipe would work on it.... anyone have any thoughts or experience with this?

On my 88.

I used stock Mustang shorty headers, bolted up to a Summit Hpipe and stock 94 Cobra lers with the stock flowtube attatched. You may need a double hump crossmember, my car already had one on it. It all bolted in like it was made for it.

I dont have tailpipes on currently, It is just dumped after the lers.

same on mine, we used a jegs mustang 2.5 inch catback with dumps, came in about 8 inches too short... looked funky because it was right below the gas tank (like wheelie bars)

had a exhaust shop custom make from the axle back using my catback kit, cost me $90 or so.

mac shortys, pipes x pipe no cats and flowmaster 40 series dual chambers with 2 1/2 over the axle with lx mustang tips. you need to add to them to make them reach the back of the car.
