Best ones I think would be Full Length, weld in. Check out
maximum motorsports site. They will tell you everything you need to know.

Weld on Period. Bolt on was something for certain race classes.

as for full length or stnd length. The mm clear cats, but hang a lil lower. some of the other makes you can't run cat's because they run inside the frame rails.

I'm running stnd length and have no problems.

Do you have a pic of your SFC's? do you know if i would be able to run standard length with side exhaust?

Steeda or Maximum Motorsport SFC's are both great
choices.
I am considering the Steeda SFC's.

blah blah blah, i'll make it short

they say that because tube chassis are the way to go, all the race cars have them, but the mustang doesn't have a tube chassis, so why would you add tube piping to a rectangle and ruin the shape of absorbsion? rectangle (like MM's and others) have more welding area over any tube system out there, more of a solid structure

What Tom said. It is better for our car and gives a better weld surface for better strength.

Yet another vote for the MM full-lengths. Get the powder coated ones direct from MM unless you enjoy rust.

MM XL FL - and I have no issue with rust...even here in FL. The guy who welded em in also shot em with a couple quick coats of (battleship?) grey...anyway, looks good to me and they really made a difference.
