As long as it will fit your car. I look at o/r H pipes to be just about all the same. They are just 2.5" pipe with flanges and a couple bends.

Like is said with o/r H pipes, I personally dont think one is better than another. When i bought mine I went to Jegs found the cheapest one for $110 and threw it on. as far as the sound, you will fall in love with the sound of your car once those catts are taken out.

+1 they are almost all mandrel bent and are simply 2.5" pipes with flanges at the end. There's not a whole lot to them.

Im pretty sure that all mustang exhaust is 2.5" so you shouldnt run into any problems. just ask him before you buy it and make sure that it will fit your car. On the other hand if it is going to require some cutting and bending, go to Jegs and find the cheapest one they have that fits your car. it may cost you $30 more but you will know for sure that it will fit.

take this info for what you will:

I have a pacesetter header and a pacesetter catback on my honda accord. its made out of good materials and so far not a sign of rust. but they do tend to specialize in exhausts for imports/4-bangers

Either way there's not much of a difference between H pipes. So the smartest thing would be to just(as stated above) buy an H pipe from JEGS and call it a day.
