HeyMustang3GT07 you should take a look atthe guy in the parts for sale section selling the Stainless Workslong tubes right now (https://mustangforums.com/m_4067963/tm.htm). He has been trying to unload them for a while. They were written up very favorably in one of the Mustang magazines lately. I'd love to get them but they are O/R X-pipe. I want Catted H-pipe.

Remember, you get what you pay for...yes they will have similar gains but consider fitment issues and material

my BBK LT'sceramic were 550 and matching o/r x pipe was 300,fitment was no problem, i think for the price it's great, they still look brand new.

It took me 6 hours to do the install in total over three days... I had a lift, but definately not the best tools...

It's definatey not very hard, but my hands were very cut up after this install. I would seriously recommend investing in some gloves.

go w/ the ceramic, not only will it cut down the temp, but it will help keep it looking new longer. especially if you get expensive headers go w/ ceramic to preserve your investment.
