Default Can I install shorties?

On my 1998 4.6? I know LT's are better, but I also know the engine has to be pulled. Can I install ST's without pulling the motor? If not... can it be done by jacking it up an inch or two and moving it side to side instead of pulling it?

Thanks

Thanks 100th96. I'm really just concerned w/ short tubes though. Would I have to do anything regarding moving/dropping anyhting that would be out of my league? (uber beginner here).

Thanks.

shorties on a 2v should be relatively simple

Thanks!

I guess I'll double check w/ the tech ppl before I purchase (not that I doubt you, but you know how it is).

Thanks again, cobra... I appreciate it. FMS shorties+MagnaX+Mac CB= SAWEET!

Thanks again.

Sam

Have you looked into JBA shorties???

Courious, why the MAC cat-back if going with the Magna X??
Did you hear that set up and liked?

03...... I saw JBA's, but $250 for FMS shorties was too hard to pass up.

And yeah.. I head the magna set up... nice, but not what I'm looking for. Everyone claims magnas are nice b/c they're quiet at idle and LOUD at under acceleration. I want pretty much the opposite w/ out that god damn drone! So I heard Macs w/ Magnas and was in love. But if they have a drone.. I will rip them off the car... drag them into the backyard.... and UNLOAD my Beretta 391 into them w/ 00 Buckshot.. (get the hint that I don't like the infamous 2,000RPM drone?)

Magnas are the only mufflers I have heard that don't drone. Get your gun cleaned and loaded I think i hear gun shots in the distance!

Thanks Silver. I was just doing some more HW and read people complaining about the drone w/ macs. SO...... It looks like I'm going magna all the way! Although.. I really wanna put packs on my car, I DO NOT wanna get pulled over! Attention is good, but not from cops!

That's what the clutch is for. They should call it a quiteing peddle. I have been stop several times for various things but never for my exhaust. They have told me to keep it quite though!
