88dual Exhaust

[Ghostrider59]

Going to dual exhaust on my 88 lx.Have read about rear brake problems when adding duals
Do I need to worry about this on my 88??

Assume you have 4-cylinder Mustang?

Then yes, if you convert to dual exhaust using a 5.0 cat back, the brake line will run very close to the passenger side exhaust piping.

Is it a problem some heat shield wrap will not fix?

Car is currently a 351 Windsor. Not sure what motor was in it
I just bought the car recently, looks like it had duals at one time as i'm seeing old brackets for exhaust.

Somebody went to the trouble to swap in a 351W, and installed a single exhaust on it? If so, how big is the current single exhaust?

Car had dual exhaust, exited in front of rear wheels. I want to exit in the stock location. Concerned about the brake hose issue.

If you have stock hangars then you will be fine.

Just do it!

Got the old manifolds off tonite.Now we're ready for some headers,any suggestions ?I am thinking BBK swap headers. What's the consensus ?

Planning exhaust, just need some advice on what to buy.

 

[stykthyn]

Well if you are running a 351 you will need some swap headers. I've never had issues with bbk headers abd they are pretty affordable

 

[Ghostrider59]

Here's the plan. Bbk headers, Bbk x pipe, dynomax vt mufflers, stock tailpipes. All in 2 1\2 except 1 5\8 primary tubes.

 

[FoxMustangLvr]

^^^^To long tube or not to long tube, that is the question.

 

[Ghostrider59]

Thinking shorties would be less trouble.Hope I'm right.

 

[Ghostrider59]

Ok looking at BBK 1511 headers for 351 windsor 79 thru 93. Are they gonna fit right ?

 

[Ghostrider59]

Picked up an x pipe ,now for headers BBK or Macs ?

 

[stykthyn]

Stay away from Mac
