Default Pypes X-pipe warning

I ordered a Pypes Xpipe and cat back exhaust for my buddy's 98 mustang (auto)[/align]During installation a few things were noted that some of you guys should take into consideration before ordering.[/align]The Xpipe was the catted version, and did require FRPP O2 sensor harness extensions to get the o2 sensors to fit. also the heat shields installed on the cats are REAL close to the underbody. the worst part was that the driver's side cat was rubbing on the rubber sleeve on the shifter linkage on the transmission. after about 10 minutes of driving the sleeve burned right off. Also with the cat-back option (purchased from RPMoutlet.com), the extension pipes leading from the x-pipe to the mufflers had to be replaced with longer pipes fabricated at the muffler shop. [/align]This I learned from my experience, and yours could be different. PM me if you want specific part numbers or something like that. [/align]
