someone is selling their 2003 gt catbacks on craigslist
what else would i need to make it a dual? just an h-pipe?

yea you'll have to get a h or x pipe and a hanger kit and you'll be good

[02stang02]

alright..good.
but is that a good deal? is it ok to get a used one or should i buy a new one?

[shiftyV6]

for the price i guess only 50$ cant beat that, but if you want new which is what i would suggest h pipes and cat back will be roughly 450 or 500 for a decent set up

[02stang02]

if i were to buy the catbacks from craigslist would it be better to buy an h-pipe or get one custom made from a shop?

[HMUSN]

$50.00.. I would buy it.

[shiftyV6]

h pipes will need to be installed (i think theres some welding involved) i would go with o/r x pipes they'll be louder but wont pass smog

[02stang02]

whats the difference between the h-pipes that r catted and not? would i have to buy the catted one?

Wrong:
You don't need an hpipe you can run divorced duals w/o any mid pipe!

[02stang02]

could i just buy this and then use the catbacks?

yea you can use that but dont expect 20hp from it and you'll have to cut the y pipe to turn it into a h pipe... or you can go divorced duells but you cant just by them an exhuast shop will have to do it for

[tjames]

you need to cut the H pipe also to have true duals, or you can have them divorced like SSStang said with no midpipe. H pipe sounds best IMO

[02stang02]

so if i were to go with the h-pipe should i get the catted ones or do i not have to?
and do u have to buy anything if u go with straight pipes or do u just bring it to the shop and they do it?

[itschristorres8]

ok since most post seems beyond confusing

if its just the GTs cat back then most likely its bolt off of the h pipe it used to have or if its a REAL cat back then it has the H pipe...if not just buy a short o/r h pipe from delk or rpm-mustangs
and get some long tubes you will need exhaust hangers


and yes it is easier to just take it to an exhaust shop and have them make you an exhaust from your cats back or install your long tubes and drive to an exhaust shop and say you want true duals from the long tubes back
