Default 1996 Cobra Exhaust Question

I'm looking at a cat-back exhaust system for my cobra. I really like the dynomax ultraflo welded mufflers but they don't have a kit specifically for my car.

They do have this kit:
http://www.dynomax.com/dual-2-5-cat-...-mufflers.html

It shows its for a 99-04 GT or mach1.

Are the pipes routed the same with just different hangers or is the routing totally different.? I thought the exhaust was basically the same for all the 4.6 96-04 mustangs with the exception of the 03-04 cobras.

If it routes the same, I can just have my shop relocate the hangers and I'd be good to go.

Hope you guys and gals can help me out on this one. Thanks

The pipe routing is the same, but some of the hangers are different.

That's pretty much what I have leo. No cats, H pipe and 2 dynomax 12in bullets. Its WAY too loud. I'm looking for something with a nice deep tone, but doesn't wake people up 2 counties over.

Here's what I have on right now:

Terrible vid, I just wanted a clip of the exhaust for comparison. The vid makes it sound a lot quieter than it really is.

OK update:

I ordered the ultraflo welded cat back that I posted in the OP.

The only thing that's not a direct bolt on for the 96-98 cars are the rear hangers at the tips. They are placed a little too far toward the rear. I had a shop install mine, so all it took was cutting the existing hanger and welding new ones in the right places. The muffler hangers worked just fine.

It kept the same tone as the bullets but took the volume down to a reasonable level. It sounds great and has absolutely no interior drone. Its fairly mild while cruising, sounds nice and throaty at medium load and still screams when I open it up. Exactly the sound I was looking for.

Heres a clip of start up and some revs:
