I just bought a 88 mustang 5.0 GT. The guy who sold it to me said it had an X-pipe...It doesn't have a CAT tho... I was looking at full cat back systems, but i wasn't sure if the X-pipe was included in the system or not. IS THE CAT INCLUDED IN A CAT BACK SYSTEM OR NO>???? I wans't sure(if i didn't get the cat back exaust) if i would need 1 or 2 cats? And the last thing is that the whole dipstick piece came out of the oil tank. The tube that the dipstick goes into and all... i didn't know what to plug it up with until i can get it fixed so it doesnt spit out oil.

A cat back doesn't include the cats. You will need to get a catted h or x pipe if you need to pass emissions.

You can't put the dipstick tube back in?

stock system has 4 cats total, 2 cats and 2 pre-cats. they are part of the h pipe, (or x)

the dipstick tube just sits in, and then fastens to the header bolt that has a stud coming out of it. cyl # 7 i think?
