Will a Mach 2.5 inch O/R H pipe connect to the factory cat back even though it isn't 2.5 inches.

All aftermarket midpipes and catbacks made for 99-04 GT models will interchange with 03-04 Mach 1s and vice versa.

if you read about the mac h-pipe it does say on mostly all their products that they will fit any other mac AND stock pipes.

Putting a 2.5" pipe on a 2.25" pipe is sort of like breathing through a straw, no?

2 high-flow cats (one each side) and it sounds good in my opinion. I don't have any sound clips though.
