Exhaust
On the dyno, our Fox-body refugee made an outstanding 390-plus horsepower using a set of 13/4-inch dyno headers with an open exhaust. We expect to lose a little horsepower when we add a full exhaust system, but the idea was to minimize that loss, which is why we went with a set of coated Hedman 15/8-inch, long-tube primary pipe headers. According to Bruce Couture at Modern Driveline, not all headers will clear his cable clutch linkage, but the Hedmans along with JBA and Doug Thorley headers do fit without difficulty.

The Flowmaster American Thunder 2 1/2-inch exhaust is a complete system with lead-down pip

We went with a set of coated Hedman 1 5/8-inch headers for the Mustang that also come with
Backing up these headers is a complete Flowmaster Scavenger 21/2-inch lead-down system, a pair of 21/2-inch Delta Flow mufflers that will connect to a pair of 21/2-inch tailpipes that exit underneath the rear valance. You can also get Flowmaster tailpipes that exit through the rear valance for that OE look.
