Cats are restrictive, so you will make less power. Not a ton, but less. You will have to unbolt your motor mounts (two of them) and jack your engine up a bit to get the LT's in. The drivers side will come up from underneath, and the passengers side will drop in from the top. You might have to remove your steering shaft, but maybe not. Depends on the headers. Check the mfr's website and see if they have instructions.

I bought a mustang a couple months ago and had to install hi-flow cats (the previous owner had installed an off road H-pipe) I was told at most i would lose 2hp. Car is slightly quieter and no more gas smell with the windows down
