Nice. Get a buddy to help with the long tubes because you will need it. The mid pipe just bolts on, and you will need to cut out your stock cat back but the new one will bolt on. You can do it all on jackstands or pay a shop a couple hundred if you dont want to mess with it. Full exhaust will take about 3-4 hours (headers) + 30 minutes (midpipe) + 2-3 hours (catback) = an all day fiasco for the do-it-yourselfer.

Don't forget the Oxygen sensor extender harness and the MIL eliminators or your front sensors won't connect (a/f may get off and CEL will come on) and your rear sensors won't detect the right catalyst in the exhaust (CEL will come on and car may frive badly)

Nice, get the appropriate V6 tip brackets or fabricate your own. The problem with the V6 Mustang is a poor aftermarket requiring a lot of fabrication to get things to work. Any questions, just ask, because running into difficult installation processes due to small aftermarket support can sometimes hinder your positive outlook.

The headers are straight-forward and you should be fine following if you follow this

The mid pipe bolts right up to your headers and if you got the oxygen sensor extenders and MIL eliminators, you will have appropriately lenghtened hookups and no CEL.

The cat back will bolt up, but you will have clearance at the bumper as the tips are designed for the GT bumper. Making your own extensions for the tip brackets or cutting your bumper will resolve this issue, but I reccomend getting a V6 Magnaflow catback tip hanger for each side.

v6 tip hangers can be baught where?

AtlanticBlue99 · May 27th, 2006, 07:28 PM

Ebay? I don't know. Maybe you can get the V6 dual tip hangers from Magnaflow for about $20 or so. They would make your tips go about 1.5" lower, .5" below bumper.
