I believe I read of a person or two on here who said that they had this done. secondly, what is it that makes x pipe (a) sound different from x pipe (b).. i mean you can listen to certain clips on youtube and usually hear a different sound depending on brand such as bassani, upr, magnaflow, etc.. __________________ Mods: Fidanza Al Flywheel, Steeda UDP, EMP/Stewart Components WP, PP Plenum, K&N FIPK, Mac Prochamber, Pypes Violator Catback WhtPny's Videos

im sorry if that came off arrogant or short. unless u kno guys that do that kinda work and will give u a deal, its best to buy it all at once cause it only takes 1 install time instead of many. i regret not waiting on tuner b4 gears went in and several others on here will tell u get it all and install at once

Agree. But I went ahead and did the mid pipe anyways, i could've wiated. Ive had the car over a year so i guess getting that done wasnt bad and you can always sell the mid pipe once you get LTs. You wont get your money back but atleast youll get something for it.

It was made with extensions on it that can be removed by simply unbolting them in order to fit long tubes. link: Mustang SLP X-Pipe at AmericanMuscle.com I'm actually about to order one of these, hope this helps!

I wouldnt bother having a welder try to make them work, just to much work and i would think it would look retarded having welds everywhere when you can just buy the stuff that fits and have it fit nice and look clean also. Just get some Mac coated LT's. Heard a lot of good about them.
