You probably need a mac midpipe to go with the mac headers. Return that beyatch and get the mac o/r shorty h pipe, itll probably sound better anyways. Is Dr. Gas advertised to fit with mac lts?

I just looked into it, Dr. Gasdoes have shorty midpipesdesigned for bbk/mac long tubes. The joints are a slip fit design for "a perfect fit". Did you slide thepiping around? How is it way too big? Too long or too wide? You sure they sent you the correct part# ? From your pics it looks to be about the right size, but I can't really tell.

Sorry man, I have no idea what you're talking about. You're gonna have to break that down for me. The forward most pipes on the x pipe cross eachother, but not at the "X" in the pipe?

the whole x pipe is pieces you have to pretty much make it lol..... here is a cut up of all the pieces...

where the black lines are.... are pieces that slip into each other... the 2 large pieces at the top of the x pipe before going into the "x" joint actully cross each other there both way to long they make there own "x" and it doesnt clear the support for the transmission.. i hope im making sense

It looks like a generic X-pipe not a shorty X-pipe for a Mustang GT.

It looks like you need to cut those slip fit pipes, front and back,so it's the correct length and it all lines up. Double check before you do that though, cause I've never dealt with Dr. Gas stuff before. Im just assuming here...
