installing exhaust

speed4goal · November 29th, 2006, 01:56 PM

I'm going to install my exhaust myself over the christmas holidays. I was wondering when installing my headers, if I need a gasket? Or can I just bolt up to the metal with no leaks.

most headers come with it...

if they dont i'd get it anyway...its not very expensive

what set up did you get?

Always a good idea to replace gaskets with new parts.

BBK shorties, off road x pipe, pypes street pro mufflers. By this summer I should have the stage 3 power pack. And about a year from now a turbo from tma. I could buy the powerpack now, But that money is saved up for a 5.0/ or a 4.6 whatever I can get a good deal on and rebuild it

is it hard to install urself? and dont u gotta get somethin to raise the car?

its ont of the easiest mods to do. just get you and one other person. just a jack and jackstands to get the car off the ground.

trueballerisme · November 29th, 2006, 04:19 PM

do u have to weild stuff?

232stang · November 29th, 2006, 04:22 PM

if you just buy like a mid pipe and catback. then you wont have to weld. but if you make it custom then you will.

trueballerisme · November 29th, 2006, 04:25 PM

if i get a magna flow exhaust system and a performance muffler well i have to weild? but i should probably get a turbo or s/c installyed before that right?

232stang · November 29th, 2006, 04:29 PM

lol if you get aftermarket catback you will want or need to get an x or h pipe.

lol no...

AtlanticBlue99 · November 29th, 2006, 04:31 PM

unless you buy a dual exhaust cat back for the gt mustang- it would bolt up to an X or H pipe as opposed to the "fual" setup offered through the factory Y
