I am looking to upgrade the exhaust system on my 86 mustang which has a 3.8 v6. Does anyone know if the stock exhaust manifolds of the 3.8 exit the same location as a 5.0 ? Will a dual exhaust setup for a 5.0 mount up to the 3.8 ? It is my understanding that a 3.8 v6 is pretty much just a 5.0 with 2 cylinders cut off.
