Ok Ihave a 96 gt with the six catolitic converter h-pipe. Yea it needs to go. But im short on money and i cant seem to get my hands on 1 thats under 160 bucks. Now i can have an exhaust shop build me a custom x-pipe an hang my flows for 160 bucks but it wont be a manderal bent system. So the real question is there realy a noticable difference in sound or horespower when the pipes arent manderal bent?? I know on stock systems on most cars theres lots of tight bends plus the non-manderal bent pipe which is like pooping through a straw, but thats besides the point lol. The mustang exhaust is almost a straight shot jus a minute bend here and there so i figured there wouldnt be a difference. Whats ya'lls opinion???????
