Default GT Takoffs are on! with duals and H

Everything went on very well... the fogs are set up direct to the battery so I can turn them on whenever I want... I have a little blue rocker switch mounted next to the headlight dimmer...

The H setup with the duals sounds great... real quiet rumble at idle, then loud at WOT!! I am very happy with the work done by Team Ford... the guys in the body shop have a great time and it was a lot of fun watching it all come together...

Car got a lot of attention before, now even more so

Yes... the Body shop did the cutting... when I had Meinike mount the muffs and custom fab the 'H', we left the back muffler off the hanger, then I went back to Team ford and they cut the bumper, and hung the Drivers side muffler

If anyone in the Houston area needs some good exhaust work done, talk to Mikey over at Meinike on 1960East (near golf course, and east of 59). He does an outstanding job. They can install Flowmasters, or work with yours if you bring them in... He also put a custom 'H' on Noirs, and he also was very happy. Highly recommended...

Nice. A nice exhaust setup makes driving a heck of a lot more enjoyable.

So did you keep the stock cats and cut off the Y, then just weld on the H that they fabbed up (thats what it looks like)? It looks great! Hows the sound?

Sound is great... WAY better than the stock setup. Yep, kept the stock cats, I had GT takoffs from a guy that put in a Cervini kit, so I had the muffs and pipes that go up to where the GT has the 'H'. So Mikey, cut the 'Y" and custom made an 'H', then we just had to mount the stock GT muffs into the hangers, route the pipes around the axel, and then he welded them up.

I'll see if I can get a sound clip up in a few... or maybe a short video... I also have video of Noir's setup with the Flowmasters, after the 'H' was put in, but I will let him post that I don't want to steal his thunder as he loves the sound with the 'H' added

I watched this car come together in person. It sounds beautifull and the foglight setup is awesome. I also HIGHLY recommend the minake off 1960 that Truxton suggested for exhaust work.
