Ok finally got my stock exhaust, Cats ona y pipe, extender pipe, muffler, tail pipe. Is there something I should watch out for before I install it? Any tips to make this easier?

I bought the pro pypes system... Didn't sound right. I did all that because my cats were leaking. So I ordered a new y pipe and walker quiet muffler. I have been told by ford that performace will be better with the cats that are california emission and the quiet flow walker muffler. Eh I'm not to into modding. My mustang looks good it's a 2003 v6 with a Pony package. Silver with leather, 1000 mach audio, chin spoiler, stock fog lights, t-lok diff, stock chrome wheels, ford racing logo on the back bumper, and black lettered mustang. its a cool looking car right out of the dealer... why do anything else?

you shoulda gotten an o/r h, and bolted up some gutted cat shells to it. woulda been cheaper

i know cal's emissions are really strict, apparently PA's are getting to their standards, but with the OBD2 standard that they use here, the only part of the test that is dependent on the catalytic converters is the visual. thats assuming you have MIL eliminators to prevent the codes from showing when they do the computer test.

We all know Cali is no no for modders unless you like getting tickets. I just want a legal car... That's why I want stock everything.
