Default exhaust question

I am installing a 302 in an 81 thunderbird. In my garage I have an exhaust system from an 88 gt (shorty headers, h pipe, mufflers, tailpipes) and I was wondering if anyone knew if this would fit. Considering their are both fox body vehicles.

i doubt it would be a drop in deal. IIRC the t-bird didnt have dual exhaust...

other than changing the mount for the transmission to a double hump they look pretty similar underneath I was just hoping somebody may have done this before. Probably not the most common vehicle to be messing with

it will probably require some massaging, but it should work, i cant guarantee anything though

not a direct fit.....you'd have to hack and lengthen a good bit
