Okay guys and gals...need some advice/help.support. I like many other mustangs nuts went out and bought an x-pipe for my 1996 GT 5speed. Sounds good right? well i live in california so i got stuck having to buy a set with cats, sure a little more expensive but thats okay, I saved up and chose to buy the SLP X-pipe. I am so bummed out. The part really really doesnt fit my car. Loved the exhaust note, but the fitment is very poor. I cant have the pipes flush with car because it doesnt even fit through the crossmember. so it had to hang down. I was scrapping so much that i gave up and put the stock one on. Any advice? I thought of taking it to a shop and letting them hack it up to try and fit, but a shop owner said it would be a lot of work and prob end up paying the full price of x-pipe just fixing it. Am i the only one with this prob? Is it worth fixing it? Buy another brand? No matter what i read on sites like American muscle or whatnot it is 50/50 if x-pipes fit. Almost want to try UPR....but haven't heard too much. Sorry for the long write up....just fustrated and want my 96 to purrr again.
