haha i kinda thought the same thing.... i really wanted my exhaust guy to put dumps on it and hang a fake single tailpipe then it would look just like a 4 banger but sound like a beast. but he pulled the whole " dumps wont pass inspection" bull****

I've noticed that the 1982-1986 foxbody's say different things. Some say 5.0, some of them say GT 5.0, and others just say GT.

that is BULL****... stupid exhaust guy prolly didnt know what the **** he was talking about. he didnt know what i meant by dumps, so i said turn downs, he gave me a puzzled look and i said pipes that dump the exhaust before the axle! then he said Oh those wont pass ispection... it sucks cus that would ahve saved me $100 on exhaust. as soon as i can find a friend to inspect my car im going with long tubes, a catless H, and dumps...
idk what mine said originally but i see ntohing

pass-side tailight and on the front bumper
