Hi Everyone,
I just purchased a 2006 Mustang GT. The previous owner installed a 3" exhaust system from manifold back which defeated the Cats. The system has a leak at manifold so I took it to muffler shop and the guy showed me how botched the install was (pipes sitting on gas tank, rubbing on suspension, etc.) He suggested removing the system (X pipe system).. I have the Stock system I can go back with but I am afraid of loosing sound and horsepower.. My question is, Should I go back with the stock cats and system to the Axle then install an Axle back system for sound? Or should I spend the time and money to remove the X pipe system and fix it properly? I really appreciate any info anyone can give me on this subject.. Thanks all!!
