Author Topic: H-pipe into Tbird z pyro ¯ Member # 3745 posted                              do the fox stangs use the same air pump system as the SO 5.0's? I'm asking because I want to convert from the exhaust-manifolds and 2-1-2 exhaust system on my Tbird to the Mustang headers, H pipe and tru dual exhaust system, and I'm wondering if the smog pump will still hook up. -------------------- '95 Integra LS '08 Buell XB12R Firebolt '65 Mustang 289 - soon to be 306 Posts: 1732 | From: Fresno, CA | Registered: Nov 2003  |  : Stimson _ Member # 51 posted                              Yes, there is only one air tube leaving the smog pump and feeding the cats on both cars. You'll probably have to modify the hose to work with the new H pipe. I simply use heater-hose and hose clamps to attach the metal smog pump air tube to the air inlet tube on the H pipe. I hate the stock metal clamp Posts: 2373 | Registered: Jun 2000  |  : z pyro ¯ Member # 3745 posted                              i was wondering if that would work. when i swapped trannies, I had to take the Y pipe out and the smog pump pipe wouldn't come off, so I hacked it off. so heater hose wouldn't melt? (I have < 2 inches of pipe coming off of the Y-pipe) -------------------- '95 Integra LS '08 Buell XB12R Firebolt '65 Mustang 289 - soon to be 306 Posts: 1732 | From: Fresno, CA | Registered: Nov 2003  |  : BlackNGold CaliforniaFords.com Moderator Member # 655 posted                              You can buy the silicon hose for the smog tube hook up....They somethimes come with the new H pipe, otherwise I know Kragen and Pep Boys carry it.... All the 5.0 smog pumps are the same, the only possible difference would be the output pipe on the back of the smog pump may be straight or it can be at 90*... If you find a donor Mustang I'm sure everything will bolt up to your T-bird.. -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : z pyro ¯ Member # 3745 posted                              hell, if I had a donor 'Stang, I would be in the garage for weeks on end! I'll need to see if my uncle can hook me up, he's got connections -------------------- '95 Integra LS '08 Buell XB12R Firebolt '65 Mustang 289 - soon to be 306 Posts: 1732 | From: Fresno, CA | Registered: Nov 2003  |  : Stimson _ Member # 51 posted                              If you don't have cats, a few inches of heater hose will work fine.
