Mustang H-pipe, differences? June 30, 2005, 10:37:13 AM Looking to put headers on my 3.8 and need the h-pipe. Is there a difference between v6 and v8 H-pipes? Quote Selected

Re: Mustang H-pipe, differences? Reply #2 – June 30, 2005, 10:40:47 AM Well, when I brought this up earlier, I was told to get a stock h-pipe with the headers. I'm assuming that meant there is such a thing... Quote Selected
Re: Mustang H-pipe, differences? Reply #3 – June 30, 2005, 10:43:16 AM I know people have reported being able to use a V8 h-pipe with the V6 headers by bending the pipes a little bit. This would be easier if you got a cat-less off-road h-pipe for a stang that has the slip-joint in the middle. Quote Selected
