Default exhaust questions

Well my buddies got an '02 sixxer. Right now he's got the MAC cat back on it, and within the next few days he's buying an 8.8, ca's, and wants to do headers and a midpipe. My question is will a midpipe off a v8 car fit since he's going to have true duals and what not? or are there differences in the lengths? Help is greatly appreaciated, thanks!

The Gt from the same model years will fit but need to be modified by a muffler shop. or ur friend could go and let the shop fab a mid pipe..it maybe cheaper that way.

what needs to be modified? His dad welds so if we can just weld the midpipe and exhaust together and thats all thats needed it'd be easier to do that.

He also didn't say he wasn't and yes there is a difference stock but he isn't getting stock parts if say you be hard pressed to find aftermarket exhaust parts smaller than 2.5 unless you get something that went and the stock V6

Long tubes or not, he will have to modify the mid pipe if its from a GT.

well sounds like hes serious with his car and you should let him know to get the right stuff the first time, which would be the longtube setup.

MAC Longtubes
MAC O/R H pipe
high flow cats, if needed in your state for emissions, need to be welded into the h pipe
any GT catback
a pair of o2 sensor extendors
and if he doesnt already, he should get a tuner. it can turn off the rear o2 sensors that will throw a code. if not he can get MIL eliminators

also instead of buying an aftermarket GT catback you could try and pick up the catback off of a 99-04 GT, alot cheaper
