my gt needs mufflers

[Grrr]

the gt i just got today is missing everything except the headers. And basically i need to replace those too.

I'm pretty stuck on the idea of getting flowmasters (probably 2 chambers), and of course i need cats. But my question is: what all do i need?

i'm not an expert on exaust, but to help you out in answering my question, i want:

new headers
cats
flows (2chamber)
and turn-downs

so what all should i get? and i know i'm missing something like the h-pipe, so please help me out. money is not really that big of an issue...

Well I can give you two ways to do your exaust..One is get a set of shorty headers bbk or headman etc.. Then get yourself either a off road x-pipe or a highflow cat x-pipe, with 2 chambers with turndowns. If you go with the off road x just get a shop to weld you on dummy cats for cops.. Dont take it to a muffler shop and have them tell you they can make an h-pipe get a brand name think about it bbx spends millions of dollers flowtesting the exaust system were our 76 station mechanic starts making bends were he needs them.

but what will i do when i have to pass inspection in august? dummy cats won't pass smog tests will they?

if you get some shortie 1 5/8 inch headers, you should be cool as long as you get an H or X pipe with cats. Remember, 5.0s have 4 cats. You can pass smog with damn near anything done to your engine since its got 4. If you got the money, get a bassani X pipe. Or, find someone selling their stock H pipe, and get an off road X pipe. Its hard to find a stock H pipe though. Good luck.

Seriously you dont need to shell out the money for a xpipe with highflow cats..When smog season comes your gonna need to use some elbow grease and change your pipes back over to stock, I can get my h-pipe off and stock pipes bolted up in about 1 1/2 hours in my garage

just a suggestion: everyone runs flows, ever thought about mac? they're the same price if not cheaper

I have used 2chamber flows with turndowns and an excellent stock h-pipe from my 93 mustang which I don't need since there is no way my car will pass smog. If interested let me know. Need to get rid of some parts in my garage :)
