Finally got the car in the shop after much anticipation!! The shop is prototyping up a full exhaust from the headers back. Can't wait to get it back. I'm tired of having the car you can barely hear at all the shows. I want heads to turn when I pull in!! I hope they don't have it too long.....

Same here...kinda. Getting the X and catbacks put on. The mechanic called me over to ask me how I wanted him to take the stock catbacks off.

I'm crossing my fingers in hopes that this job gets done right.

I'm envious of the prototyping job!

I asked another mod to move it when I realized I put it in the wrong spot. Sorry for that. I got an opportunity for a group buy who do I need to talk to about posting that up properly without violating any rules?

We might be able to pick it up on Friday. When we do we will take a lot of pics and some video etc so you guys can hear it. An introductory price is in the works and will be posted in a new thread for everyone. Stay tuned for the results in a few days!!

Looks like we won't get it back until next week.

However there is some new news.
Stainless asked me to run a poll on the mid pipes.
http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=656763
They where originally only going to offer an X pipe but have decided to run this poll. Post up and be heard.

Pics coming soon.

so whats the final word? H or X, both maybe? are they also developing LT headers for our cars? If so, tell them if they can offer a set that does not require removal to do transmission/clutch work, and offer it at a decent price, they would take a big part of the LT market for our cars.

My setup is long tubes, x pipe, turbo mufflers. All stainless 304. No cats.

They say they can do both H and X.
Also, the setup should work for 96 to 04 4.6 2v's.

If you guys have questions, feel free to give Stainless Works a call. They are some of the best people in the business and always go out of their way to help.

Not to judge but I never understand why people pay money to have exhaust installed... All you need is: Jack, Jackstands, Sawzall, Tools.

You could easily have installed the catback yourself.

The X pipe is even easier. Only headers require nimble hands and patience.

Sawzall will take the stock Catback off easy. I would hope that an exhaust shop would already know that.
