finished the O/R H Pipe Install
okay so i won't lie this took me 3 hours, just to do the H pipe!!! one reason it took so long is b/c the driver side down pipe from the headers was a PIA bc i did it by myself, so trying to hold a metal pipe while screwing in a bolt isn't that easy lol but after that it was a cakewalk, i just had to make some minor adjustments when i test fitted the actual h pipe, bolted them up tight, and turned the car on and she sounds amazing, granted i don't have anything after the h pipe, my magnapacks are in the garage n ill install those tomorrow, checked for leaks, all good from the headers, no moisture whatsoever, i did though have one drop on each side where the downpipe connects to the h pipe, it literally was like one drop, nothing i don't think i should be concerned about right? i did only let the car run for about 2 minutes since its cold outside and this was the first start of it in about 3 weeks, but ill make sure to post pics tomorrow when shes all finished!

condensaion from exhaust is nothing new. I have my exhaust bolted up and on my 04 gt and my 04 mach 1 I get water drips between the midpipe and CB. I just check them every now and then to make sure they are not trans fluid or something it's not supposed to be.

The required 02 sensor harness'(closest to exhaust manifold) don't need to be extended do they? And O/R mid pipes do not come with holes for rear o2 sensors do they? If so will my stock rear o2 sensor harness reach so I can plug the bastards in and turn my o2 sensors off with my handheld?

they do have holes for the 02 sensors all 4 of them, 2 by the manifold and 2 on the midpipe, and the only one i needed was an extention for the driver side, it was about a 1/2inch to short, but everything bolted up really nicely and sounds awesome!

BTW love seeing New Edge GT's with the 99 Cobra rims option. One of the best looking rims for a stang IMO.
