Hi everyone,

Wonder if the installation is just simply raising the rear via jack stands or ramps or a lift and undoing bolts etc? On older cars, the cat back pipes went above the axle which may have required some creative twists/turning to get the old pipes out but I think the new mustangs, having independent rear suspension instead of a solid axle, have the pipes routed below the axle.

Being a newer car, you probably don't have to worry about bolts being rusted after years of driving/heat/salt buildup.

I'd make sure everything was aligned well on the hangars and that the exhaust tips look straight before tightening stuff.

I installed Legato mufflers. These are comparable to flowmasters.

The only issue I am having with mine is, the exhaust is wanting to "sag". I am going to go have the cat backs welded solid, the hangers are not in place to hold these mufflers up. Of course, the car is twice as loud now compared to the video after installing the headers. But, it still sounds like a mustang and not all of the spitting and popping.
