I have researched as best I can all the offerings for 2.5" exhaust systems. I am almost finished building my "visually" correct 400 for my convertible. I will be running long branch exhaust manifolds. I want to be able to install the system without having to add a spacer to my cross brace (if possible) and have the correct shape for the tailpipe over the rear axle.
I have spoken with the major suppliers. Pypes was the most vague about the fit and "correctness" of the tailpipes. Gardner will supply a concourse correct 2.25 system - too much $ for a daily driver in my opinion.
Please give me some feedback on what some of you have done/used on your FGF's and which mufflers you recommend and why. If the best answer is to have a local exhaust shop custom bend the exhaust, I will do that.
