ok, you want to get parts made specifically for your mustang.

www.pypesexhaust.com has 05+ mustang exhaust hangers for like 32 bucks each. totally worth it. I think my dealership tried to charge me 75 dollars each!
Pypes also has X-pipes for 108 bucks. Better flow, more aggressive sound. That left exhaust pipe you found is a good find, that was the last piece I was looking for. I think the dealership tried to sell me it for $200+. Rip off.

I just got my X-pipe and hangers, with all the necessary clamps and bolts this week. I'm waiting for winter to end before I put them on. I was going to have the left exhaust pipe fabbed, but you found one lol.

To avoid fabrication and too much modification to the OEM system, I went ahead with the Ninosport Dual Kit.

Here's a pic of the kit from Ninosport. It's well built and very nice, the welds are very good and the pipes are very good quality and fully bolt-on !.

They also come with the OEM Ford hanger (not shown).

As you can see I'll put it on with two GT takeoff.

Unfortunatelythe installation isnot completed because of an issue with the shipping company but Nino and his team were very good at helping me resolving the matter.

You guys should really consider this option if you plan going duals on your V6.

The left GT pipe will fit. I think I'd be a little careful about the $30. universal H-pipe. You might want togo on ebay and get a Ford Racing X-pipe for around $125 bucks. It duplicates the shape of your existing exhaust system. Basically you cut out the Y-pipe, leaving your existing exhaust pipe to be used as the right mid-pipe. Use the GT left mid-pipe. I really like my GT take off mufflers, but some guys like them louder than I do. You might want to check out the guy that Blackpearl recommended for the hanger, or I can give you an email address where you can get them for $35. They really try to hose you on hangers, but if you look around, you can find them cheaper. Good Luck, Dave

i really dont like the way the x-pipe sounds... I think if the universal h-pipe, any brand, there are numerous ones, would work if it was welded... I dont trust clamps that much, not for aftermarket crap... I am sticking with GT take offs... got em for free, might as well use em!
