RE: x-pipe
oh and also, what is the best mid-muffler setup?
i don't really know much about exhaust setups but what i DO know is that i want LT headers, an x-pipe, and mid mufflers.
what should i get? my birthday is in a week and i'm expecting a ton of money!

RE: x-pipe
I too have not seen a ceramic coated x-pipe. I bought my Ford GT Mustang x-pipe on Ebay, and went to the Ford dealer for a passenger side GT mid-pipe. The x-pipe was cut into the factory y-pipe behind the cats, and the Ford parts matched up perfectly. I used GT take-off axleback mufflers, and love the results.
Not all LT headers are 50-state legal. You'll need to keep catalytic converters under the car in order to pass inspection. There is at least one LT header available that includes the cats too, but I think that nearly all systems utilize the axleback mufflers as opposed to mid-car mufflers as were used on pre-S197 Mustangs.

RE: x-pipe
not positive on the exact science of it but i would think the exhaust gases would exit a bit faster on axleback muffs vs catback muffs.
except if it were a side exhaust setup where there were no pipes traveling over the axles. that would obviously be the fastest exit.
