FYI on exhaust systems

[NoFear115alex]

ok this is a dumb question, im new to this so any guidance and advice would greatly be appreciated. the 03 04 mach 1 and 03 04 cobra are contemporaries and there was even an article comparing the two. the cobra has independent rear suspension. does the mach 1 have independent rear suspension?

1st. you should be looking at 99-04 Mustang GT for exhaust 2nd if ordering headers it should be for Mach 1
and 3rd only Cobras have independent rears, Machs have solid rears.
Hope this helps
PS I had the same questions 9 years ago, you'er not dumb.

do you think that the stock catalytic converter is more efficent than the ones that come on the MRT h pipe. i was looking at the Maxflow MRT o/r h pipe. and its only offered 'without' catalytic converters. so does that mean if i buy that h pipe will i have to use the converters that are currently on my car? and will this MRT o/r h pipe system hook up to borla s type cat back exhaust without complications?

I bought the MRT high flow catted H pipe because it was less restrictive then the stock cats plus the MRT pipe is 2 1/2 inches vers 2 1/4 inches and mandrel bent, my 2004 stock catted H pipe had 6 cats 3 each side, I sold it for $200 to a guy on here.
PS yes it bolted to my stock header pipes and Magnaflow catback system with no problem, the system has been on my car for 9 years and still looks new.
It will also bolt to the stock exhaust system with no problem.

do you know if anybody has had problems bolting the MRT h pipe up to borla exhaust system. my main goal is to order borla exhaust and a x pipe or h pipe and have them installed at the Ford Nationals. I'm just trying to get information and opinions to what the best combination would be in order to achieve the deep throaty muscle car sound but still maintains efficency so it will also be "street legal".
Thanks for your help.

As long as you are using stock headers you shouldn't have a problem, most after market cat back exhaust systems bolt right up to a H or X or stock pipe unless you buy a short H or X pipe for headers.
If you add long tube headers you will have to change the mid H or X pipe to a shorter mid pipe.
PS the MRT and Borla will be a clean bolt up system.
