Default 88 LX exhaust on an 89 GT

Can you put lx exhaust on a GT? Is it possible to remove the tailpipes from the lx and replace them with dumps?

Sure, but lx exhaust doesn't have turndowns so have fun with your ground effects.

So what if I cut a little off the LX pipes and put some turndowns on?

I have seen a few of different things.
1. cut a hole in the ground effects for the tails to go thru....ugly
2. point them down a little to clear.....also ugly
3. Like said before get a cobra bumper and keep the tips.....Sweet!
4. just dump after the mufflers and forget the pipes completly......best IMO for GT ground effects
5. Get tips made for GT's that are bigger piping and dump like the stock.

Agreed

lets put it this way, i have a box full of prep stuff and a cobra bumper on the table a room over

IMHO ford was stupid not to give the GT Exhaust tips, every car thats worth driving (i.e V8 musclecars and sports cars) need to have a pair of exhaust tips sticking out the back, or side in some cases
