I'm thinking that with all the trouble I went through to get the old exhaust pipes off I should just do it up now that it's all in pieces.<br /><br />my dilemma is that I will be putting on longtubes and the accompanying shortened H pipe, and I don't have the cash right now. I'm about a month (maybe 2) away from that cash ($600 and change for MAC tubes w/ prochambers, not counting the $500 for T5 build and clutch). I want to drive her so bad now, but I know I would regret it when I'm all done putting my OLD parts back on with no performance plumbing. and last, I think the exhaust is unnecessary on my almost stock GT for now, (but 2-3 months from now I'll be doing intake and heads..so who knows)<br /><br />what would you guys do? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>GR40coupe</b> <br /><small>Member # 698</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,0,25,15,25,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I would not get mac long tubes they suck. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>TRY2PAZ</b> <br /><small>Member # 97</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,0,26,10,31,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I would buy some BBk long tunbes now.
