Exhaust combo...

[05 GT Stang]

Any thoughts on this exhaust combo: Hooker long tube headers, stock H-pipe, flowmaster axle backs?

Sounds good....

Except, I would go with a catless h-pipe and SLPs.

you have to cut the cats off the stock H-pipe to reuse

Right, so get an O/R h-pipe, which is only like $175. Shouldn't be that much when you are already looking at headers. Plus, not only for sound, but you would get more performance from catless or at least high-flow cats. In my opinion though - screw the ozone and 3 cheers for that muscle car sound!

Ok, but, i'm putting on long tube headers, not shorties. Hooker doesn't offer a H-pipe setup with their long tubes, but only an X-pipe (for around $250-$300). Thats why i'll cut the factory H-pipe down (cats) and expand them so the collectors will fit.

heres a couple links to give you an idea :

Go with the X-Pipe in theory the flow is unmatched with them. Check Granatelli motorsports out he has some Nice pieces for the 05-06 gt. header back all stainless 3" under 800 bucks
