I've been eyeballing this cat back exhaust from Roush. I have stock GT exhaust on the car now (cause it was originally a Stage 1). Will this mesh with the formed exhaust tips?

I'd like to end up with long tube headers and shorty H midpipe that still has a catalytic converter.

I like it because of the small resonator and that its not an axle back system and it allows for this upgrade (i think) later. Also if you look on roushperformance, they recommend a Kooks header and midpipe setup. Thoughts?

By formed exhaust tips, I mean the ones that fit the Roush bumper on an 05-09.

Just as a point of note - if it was originally a Stage 1, it will always be a Stage 1.

The tips in the kit you linked are round w/ rolled edges. It's what you would find on the R series cars and the P51s - which all used the 'stock' rear bumper. If you have the Roush rear bumper and the angular tips, you'll want to have a shop cut those tips off and weld them to the new piping.

Does your rear look like this?

Stick with the Roush rearend look. I think it is more unique and the round tips will not work with the above bumber

That is exactly what they look like. Yes, I'll do the extra welding work to keep the Roush tip. I'm a fan of the Roush exhaust because of the small resonators and throaty rumble.

it will always be a stage at heart...

Hey guys looking for thoughts, I have an '06 Stage 1 and looking for a little more throaty sound exhaust. Any idea's?
