It just gets welded in at the back where the cuts were. You maintain all the factory tubing from just behind the resonator. That’s a few feet more. Here’s a pic of the cuts I made for the Gibson kit, with the H-pipe still in place:

Thanks for letting me know. Might have found them already, but if that falls through, I’ll get in touch. Nothing agreed yet on price, so that could be a deciding factor.

Funny you mention that since I noticed something similar, but maybe only half inch or so. The muffler on that side was a lot harder to slide on, but I figured it was just tolerance differences of the factory piping. Having the adjustable tips made it easy to line it up, but assuming I acquire...

I’ve owned and driven V-8 Mustangs going back 30+ years and currently have a highly modified ‘03 Cobra. It’s totally different with toys that aren’t driven often, which benefit from a performance exhaust, vs. a daily driver that is loud for no reason. A nice rumble is fine, but obnoxious is...

I just removed an MRT H-pipe once I swapped in a Gibson axle-back. Even with that kit (which has "mufflers") it was stupid loud, so the stock resonator went back in and the sound is perfect. I can't imagine using their H-pipe AND axle-back - that would have been even worse. That being said, the...

Just went to another local Cleveland shop that has been around for a while. Probably could have waited and had one other place take care of it - the right way - but I was there and wanted it knocked out. Unfortunately, I made the assumption they'd leave the forward band clamps in place rather...

No real humming noticed on my end, other than maybe up close to 90MPH, and that was with the stereo turned off. I'd say it has a pleasant rumble much like what Ford had piped through the speakers (mine was turned off within the first month of ownership), only it comes from behind you rather than...

Total bummer for sure. In any case, most likely just scored a like-new exhaust in SE MI, so hopefully I'll have this rectified soon enough.

No, but that is simply how they are advertised. Even if the FP tune comes in with less power than the popular ones out there now, plenty of us probably won't care. That's especially true for those of us that couldn't care less about drag racing.

I should have done the grinding myself had I known. As they told me, they only cut and weld. Oh well, lesson learned, but kinda’ pisses me off about MRT tacking on those clamps!

Thread can be deleted.

Updating this again since I had my factory resonator welded back in this afternoon. What a difference - sounds absolutely amazing. With the H-pipe, it was just way too loud - almost straight-pipe loud, but it's perfect now. The rumble is noticeable, but nowhere near close to obnoxious. No drone...

How are you going to measure one tune versus another other than the power output (I.e., “dyno sheets”)? If it’s safe for a daily driver, being “watered down” shouldn’t be any issue. Mine has an 8-year, 125,000 mile warranty. I can wait.

That’s the same clip I linked in the very first post. It’s the development vehicle and still has the factory resonator in place. Glad to have knocked it out finally! I did tighten the band clamps down after initial alignment (before adding the tips), but it shifted slightly anyway. I think...

Finally got mine installed today since it was relatively nice (well, if you consider 40° and sunny nice). Great sound, but with the MRT H-pipe, it’s a bit too loud for my tastes, so I’ll have the factory resonator welded back in sometime shortly. Install was pretty straightforward, but I need...

Have had it in for several months. Very high quality and maybe a 10% bump in sound level with stock mufflers. Adding the Gibson axle-back to mine shortly. Will see if it is too loud or not, so I may put the resonator back in.

Because not everyone wants to "compete" or base the performance of their vehicle purely on a dyno sheet. Plenty of us want to enjoy the vehicle as a daily-driver, tinker with it a bit, and be content that a tune will be compatible with the factory warranty.

Or this…

Great to hear more, and really a perfect sound for the ST. It was enjoyable talking to the guys at Gibson, understanding they felt a complete cat-back kit was unnecessary since there were no gains and they’d only be taking our money. A lot of these have sold already for good reason. They did...

Sounds great. Looking forward to comparing mine. Thanks for putting that up!
