Well I found a fox at the local yard and was trying to get the e-brake cable out and when I looked under the car it had wat looks like flowmaster welded on...

ok well im deciding if I sgould pick this up? I have some super 40's in my closet that I didnt install yet and tailpipes which were cut short tho , but do you guys think I should pick the exhaust muff/pipes fron the JK car or install the ones i have?

Install the ones you have. You don't know the condition of the mufflers; they could already be rotted. If the tail pipes on the junker are in good condition and 2.5" then they might be a nice pick up if the tailpipes in your closet are messed up. Otherwise it would be a waste to put on stock tailpipes if you want a performance aftermarket exhaust.

If they are cheap enough, grab the whole shooting match and then piece together what you need. I'd generally recommend installing the new mufflers as opposed to the JY pieces but make it work however you need to

yea thats what I was thinking but the ones I seen on the junker looks to be in good shape.. THe ones I have it has the bolt on part at the front, bt the ones at the yard were welded so I would have to cut... i couldnt see the underside of the mufflers since the car didnt have any wheels i just seen it was welded to the h-pipe or to the headers cuz it was kinda far up, and it dosnt have rust spots that i could see.. ehhhh ill post up a pick of what i got..

Just use what you already have & get it welded up. A competent muffler shop shouldn't have a problem splicing it together....

Those will bolt up to your h/x pipe the way they are, then you just have to get them hung and have the correct tailpipes welded on. I assume from your username that you have a GT so if you have the stock rear bumper cover, you need the turn-down tailpipes that hang lower.

it sucks (I know) to be on the receiving end

Those actually look more like Mac mufflers to me, especially considering their cat-back comes in black now.
