Default Will this setup fit?

Its a v8 set up but read below.

This will fight up on my v6 right now right? Im currently using a GT Cat-Back Exuast system, will bolting up be a problem? Reason im asking is because its gonna be cheaper for me to do this then actually find the piping, get it perfectly to match up, labor costs and all the crap. Since i could just sell the Super 40 mufflers i have now and really id be paying a small fraction for the whole setup.

Let me know.

to have an optimmum size you want 2.25 in pipe unless your making uber power thats 2.5 i think actaully stock exhaust is 2.25.. and 400 for that? i went to a shop had them fab up an hpipe and put dual flows on there and they offered tail pipes with tips for 350 i ended up going withdumps but i think if you looked around you can find a shop that work something out its not that bigof a deal i dont believe where are you from someone could offer a suggestion for a shop maybe

yes it will work with a little customization(2.25' to 2.5' which is very easy at a shop with the tools that open up the piping.) anyway, the only difference is you cant use the H pipe from the headers bc its a different system/headers/firing orderand your best bet is just cutting right after the cats and going dual on a 6

Thats my setup without my borla's. You can hear the severe lack of backpressure.

Thats a 94/95 BBK O/R X-pipe that was modified to fit 94-98 stock headers on my recently installed 00' engine.

The Borla's on there are dumps and I like them, keeps the car looking V6-ish still and sounds good.

Ford sells the pass side hangers for $14 each, the bolts need to be matched to the bolt on the drivers side. ANyone know the thread pitch and length?

Btw the car is a 1996.

Also if your installing exhaust on a 94-98 V6 I think you need to get the 99+ tail pipes because something with the tail pipe rubbing against the fuel tank or some junk like that.
