Will the tailpipes from a SN car fit a foxbody LX??? I have some stock pipes laying around, would like to use em on a project car.

My experience is that they will, but won't if you know what i mean. I ran some on mine for a while and they came out the back past the bumper about 3 inches no matter how i had them installed, and they hit the front side of the axle. Muffler placement has a lot to do with this though so it may have had something to do with the rest of my hodge podge cat-back.

Thanks, I was not sure, I did not think they were a direct fit, hopefully I can come across some stock LX pipes

If you don't have to weld them it wouldn't hurt to try them out. Mine were installed with my Magnaflow mufflers which are a bit longer than other mufflers (like Mac). Also i know my flow tubes aren't slipped over the mufflers as far as they could be which pushes the mufflers back even further. I can't say they DON'T work, because there's too many variables with how i had them installed. All that aside, i'm going with the stainless LRS tail pipes.

I have a Mac 3" catback on my 93. I bought it from a local salvage yard for 75 bucks... I had to change the rear hangers for the tail pipes and mess with the x-pipe a little, but it went in and actually fits a little better then my old 2.5" flow's and Walker tails....

94-97 tail pipes will fit no problem. Just install them and trim the ends to your liking. 98-04 pipes hang on the bumper rebar.
