Im unsure if you will have to remove/modify your caback or not, or anything else. Whether its griggs or MM, or any other company out there they have specific requirements on what can b einstalled and what tolerances it has to be at. I'd give MM a call, they would know best and have geat customer support. I also give some nice prices on MM stuff, so when you are ready to order let me know and email me: jim@fourvalve.com <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> Goodluck.<br /> <br /> <small>[ April 14, 2003, 10:13 AM: Message edited by: stanger91 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Black94 5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 655</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(2003,3,14,10,34,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> One of the MM reps told me that the MM panhard works with the newer Flowmaster and the dynomax cat backs....<br /><br />I'm sure that the exhaust mod could be easily fixed at an exhaust shop for less than $60..<br /> <br /> <small>[ April 14, 2003, 10:43 AM: Message edited by: Black94 5.0 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>hidnn.o.s.</b> <br /><small>Member # 1219</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(2003,3,14,10,50,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Black94 5.0:<br /><strong><br />I'm sure that the exhaust mod could be easily fixed at an exhaust shop for less than $60..</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"><img border="0" alt="[patriot]" title="" src="graemlins/patriot.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Haze187</b> <br /><small>Member # 1837</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(2003,3,14,12,18,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="http://www.maximummotorsports.com/images/pbtainstalled.jpg" alt=" - " /> <br /><br />MM knows what they are doing! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>CustomFastbackCA</b> <br /><small>Member # 1369</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(2003,3,15,10,14,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> How much performance does one usually see from the Panhard bar?? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>91 5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 1527</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(2003,3,15,18,13,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Will someone tell me what the hell im looking at?

It is designed, however to work in conjuction with a torque arm. This turns the rear suspension into a better handling 3 link setup (no upper control arms). In my opinion, you should save up and get the rear lower control arms (if you don't have them already), torque arm and panhard bar at the same time. When properly installed...trust me....you'll notice a difference. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>91GR40LX</b> <br /><small>Member # 1329</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(2003,3,15,23,47,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Go griggs, they have a pan hard to fit different levels, including on that will let you keep your catback.<br />MM PANHARD BARS SUCK! They say that the bar running across can't be bent, I have the bar to prove them wrong. A buddy of mine welded up a new chromoly bar to fix the problem. As soon as I get a little extra cash, that POS is comin off and a griggs piece will be put in it's place to match the rest of the car's suspension.<br />The panhard works with the torque arm. Get both, the car will hook! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Bill/APEX Motorsports</b> <br /><small>Member # 636</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(2003,3,16,8,17,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by JK:<br /><strong>The only good Panhard Bar is NO Panhard Bar.
