Hello all,
Trying to line up projects as I finish some others here and am opening this line of questions on exhaust system kits.
I have 2 1971 Mustangs, one a convert, and want to install dual exhaust on both. Both currently have factory iron manifolds on Windsor engines with single exhaust.
Who has bought a kit and from where, and were you happy with the fit? Anyone use a kit on a convert with the floor torque plate? Also, has anyone use one of the somewhat generic Mustang kits from Summit Racing?
I have heard that the Summit kits for 71-73 may not have the correct location for the inlet/outlet on the mufflers unless one specifies this. I am also curious if the Summit mid-pipes are bent in such a way to come up into the tunnel to clear that plate mounted under/between the seats that stiffens the underbody on a convertible?

Any input is appreciated, even if you installed a system for a larger motor. So far the best original style kit appears to be from NPD, made by the shop out in Kentucky I think, but I would like any input if someone wants to chime in.
Thank you,
Tom
