That's more than I'd pay for a used prochamber. Tell him to skip the sanding and painting and you'll take it as is for $75.
I doubt it. Its a pretty light mid-pipe. If you really feel the need to have a pair welded on at your local exhaust shop, feel free. Its not going to hurt anything....although it will add to the over all cost in the end.

I think someone told me a while back that the 96-98 cars had hangars, where the 99-04's did not.
If that's true, then it shouldn't be a problem.

You'd be crazy not to buy that for $80... I paid $125 for my UPR X used.
You may need a new flange gasket for where the passengers side exhaust manifold meets the mid pipe. They tend to break when removed, and make for a VERY large exhaust leak sometimes.
I re-used the stock bolts if you are referring to the manifold meeting the midpipe bolts. HAVE FUN REMOVING THE OLD ONES IF YOU WANT TO REPLACE THEM!!! lol.

Yea, assuming nothing is wrong with it, that's a great deal, and you will love the sound of the Prochamber. What kind of mufflers do you have?
I re-used the stock manifold studs and nuts, but I put new bolts where the mid-pipe bolts up to the cat-back. And yes, get the passenger side flange gasket. I got one, but didn't put it on when I installed the pipe. Well, that was a mistake. Just go ahead and replace it. I think mine was $11 from Advanced.

Yes, you will love the Prochamber and the Flows. It sounds great. I've got a video made, but something is up with the format, and youtube won't let me upload it. Wierd. I'm gonna try and find another video editing program to make that video again so maybe I can get it uploaded.
And yea, it's really not hard to do. The best write up I found was on Mustang World. It took me 3 hours the very first time, completely by myself, and I wasn't using a lift. When I had to take it back off to change the gasket, it took 1 hour from driving into the shop to backing out of the shop. It's really not hard to do.
