Default pipe size??

I know this questions has been asked alot but before I go spend the money I want to make sure, will 2.5 exhaustpiping fit on a 95 Mustang?? I found some GT take offs with Flow's and want to make sure the 2.5 will fit my car...

Thanks,
Matt

an h-pipe is basically true duals[8D]just with that pipe connecting them.

Well then it should bolt right up then

It will work, but you are gonna loose a lot of low end torque, but gain some high end

'True duels' is also known as 'divorced pipes' which means NO H pipe (or X). Personally I wouldn't use 2.5" pipes on a stock V6 because you will lose quite a bit of low end tq and not really gain much top end hp to make it worth while, unless you plan on driving over a 100 mph all the time. If you want to have a duel exhaust and still retain most of your low end tq. go with 2" pipes.
