Downpipe Question

Downpipe Question
This may be an easy one: I just bought Borla Stinger axle-backs, and while I'm sure I'll be content with the otherwise stock exhaust for some time, I'd like to eventually upgrade to some kooks, hi-flow cats, and x-pipe. Can/should you use stock downpipes with this setup or should you buy an AM downpipe? Does Borla even sell the downpipe separate from the axle back?
Thanks!
Thanks!

RE: Downpipe Question
Can you explain what you mean by "downpipe"?
Typically a downpipe is only found on a turbocharged car. It's the pipe which travels out of the turbocharger's turbine and travels down out of the engine bay. Needless to say, this is not typically found on a mustang.

Got it!
Generally we call those the over-axle pipes, though I don't think there is any etched-in-stone term for 'em.
Anyway, the stock ones are fine. There is a small crimp in the passenger's side, but it's nothing major. I wouldn't hesitate to use the stock ones unless you were pushing more than 500 HP...then you might see a little benefit to going to a full catback instead of an axle back. (the difference is that Catback includes the over-axle pipes. I don't think you can buy them individually)
