Hello all, I've been registered to the site for some time now but It's time to start utilizing it. I'm a senior at Ohio State and bought my first mustang(2004 GT) a year ago April 14,2007. I've got some of the bolt-ons 70mm t/b, intake plenum, cai, flwmstr c/b, tri-ax, and i'm going to order the mac o/r h pipe. I have read dozens and dozens of write ups but just want to verify before ordering. Here's what ill be ordering: mac h pipe from brenspeed o2 sensor wire extensions xr32-9450-aa gasket napa exhaust manifold stud kit I am going to hold off on getting the mil eliminators for now. Any advice on the job is much appreciated. I also just wanted to say I love the site. Its awesome to be around so many stang lovers! heres a few pics of my baby...
You can use the stock gasket that's on the pipe now, i've reused it through 4-6 mid-pipe changes and it's still fine. You dont need a new stud kit, the mid-pipe just has holes in it. The stock manifolds have studs, you just bolt up to them. Edit: And i thought you only need 02 extensions if you use the 96-98 o/r H. The Mac pipe for 99+ shouldn't need them unless im mistaken
So there are gaskets between the pipe and the manifold? My buddies 96 cobra has an exhaust leak on the passenger side and I hope it isn't the manifold to head gasket.
one side has the gasket cuz it's a flat meeting, the other side is ball and socket kinda deal w/out a gasket. The passenger side has the gasket, so that could be the case
