I have a 100% stock 90 mustang GT 5sp.

A friend of mine was saying that I should install cutouts on my exhuast after the cat.. Sense my exhaust is stock that cut outs wouldn't rob me of too much backpressure and would actually help me out.. now with that being said.. should they be installed before the cat or after the cat? also i have mac shorty headers that will be installed at the same time. Is this worth it? or should I save my money up for a complete exhaust.

cutouts besides at the track sound like ass, so just save your money and get a full exhaust. With headers and cutouts behind the h pipe you will lose some low end torque, just my 2..........

Buy a complete system.....sounds way better and more power too. If you have the headers save up for a prochamber or h or x pipe and a nice cat back and your all set. I have all Mac with catted H pipe and LX style cat back I love it except the cats are a waste as they are not hooked up. I see a prochamber in my future.
