modified exhaust question
 

Ok, I'm currently parting out a 1990 LX mustang with a 5.0. While I was tearing it down I found out that the car has a flowmaster exhaust. I'm curious on what you guys think about modifying the exhaust to work on my 69. It'll be some cutting & welding but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Thoughts?

Should be 2.25 inch stuff. Take the Flowmaster mufflers and those nice factory stainless tips and re-use them. No one is going to guess that those angle cut stainless tips originally came off a Mustang.

Re: modified exhaust question
 

Stock system would be 2.25"; if it's aftermarket, it's prob 2.5".

I know the mufflers would work. The rest of the system could as well w/enough effort. You're the only one who can decide if it's worth the effort though since it's your truck.

That's what I was thinking only I was going to modify it to where the tips exit behind the doors.

I'm pretty sure its 2.5". I just figured it would save me some cash on buying a new exhaust. The exhaust currently on the truck is pathetic. Looks like the bends were made using the PO's knee. Its all crimped. Looks bad & flows worse. Anything at this point will be an improvement. Once my garage is set up I'll give it a go & report back with how it turns out.

I've purchased Mustang spec'd Flowmasters on more than one GM project because if the project is changed, the Mustang FM's are much easier to re-sell (easier to get more return on your initial investment).

my 88 5.0 was the funnest car i will ever own.... no reason ya cant use what ya can and make it work... mustang flows aint no different than any other flow

the mufflers dont know and could care less weather they're on a ford or chevy:smoke:

Re: modified exhaust question
 

Yes, but they were on a Ford at one time, and therefore have been cursed :ito:

Re: modified exhaust question
 

Honestly, unless you're just weld-happy, this seems like too much work. Maybe save the mufflers and reuse them, but to try and modify the pipes?

Also, I agree: The curse of the Ford will be with you always!
