I have my reasons for not preferring anything by JLT - goes back many years. Enough said. Zero desire to bother with requesting longer hoses, which the kit I fit sorely needed. Good for you if you dig the stuff and get in your launches. I’ll get right on that typo correction…

They aren’t ‘taking down’ the kit. I am. I installed one briefly on my ST - in a matter of minutes - and didn’t like how tight the hoses were. Simple as that. The plastic elbows I’ve seen snap in the Mustang community also turned me off to their products. More than once. The custom kit I have...

They take about 5 minutes to install - not the point. The tight fit of the hoses puts stress on the plastic elbows, which I’ve seen break in Mustang applications. Was happy to just pay a bit extra for the Mishimoto kit with specific custom hoses rather than spend the time fabricating a bracket...

The nice thing about the Mishimoto can is that it uses custom molded hoses and aluminum fittings. With the JLT, it's a tight fit with the supplied hoses and you have plastic fittings that could easily break. The reality is, however, that anyone can buy a generic can for around $25, fabricate a...

The differential used is close to the Super 8.8 in the Mustang, and to the best of my knowledge, the Torsen uses the 34-spline shafts. For a swap in to an ST, it could be easy, especially if you have the entire carrier (would be nice if Ford Performance would offer that some day, so I’ll mention...

…with one of my original points being that the smallest diff Torsen makes for Ford is an 8.8.

Yes, that is under a Timberline. And no, the rear sway bars are not all the same sizes. The ST/Aviator is 21.7mm, the others are 20mm, and the PD is 23mm.

I know the difference, hence my comment that Torsen does not make them for Ford smaller than 8.8. If it helps your curiosity, here’s a couple pictures: 8.8. Same size rear sway bar as the ST, and this particular one has the thre-bolt cradle as well.

It’s right there in the Order Guide: 3.58. The smallest diff Torsen makes for Ford is/was 8.8. Have a T2R in my ‘03 Cobra and it rocks. Would be a great score for the ST.

A rep I chatted with last week told me they should be shipping in the next couple weeks. Apparently they are on the way to distributors, for what that is worth.

That’s my post in the other forum. Glad it’s still plugging along and helping out.

It's stated in the directions and should be obvious by looking at the picture of it installed. No different than the other axle-back kits out there, or custom replacement of the mufflers.

Cargo net helps…

I did see that, but this shows the 304 tips anyway. I'm not worried about the main pipes or muffler body since it's probably on par with OE gear. My former '14 Explorer Sport has been through seven Ohio winters and still has the factory exhaust on it that shows no signs of quitting. With this...

It’s a bit vague, but I’m confident they are using all stainless. With their warranty, it shouldn’t be an issue. Glad you found the kit that works for you in any case.

All the info on their site, including the graphic on the previous page shows T304. The difference obviously being the tips: polished vs. ceramic coated.

^It's a nice kit. I personally just had better things to spend the extra $1100 on. To each his own though. My flex pipes are still perfect, so I'm not worried about them. Same with the DP's. No concern for the factory tubing since the OE stuff is quite durable and long lasting. I'm sure the...

Any exhaust leaks around the catalysts are irrelevant to the tail pipes, so I wouldn’t let that worry you. They are probably handled under warranty, but good if Ford recalled any. I couldn’t see an entire exhaust being replaced unless there were many other welds on the way out, especially if the...

I believe the exhaust problems (if there's a recall?) were/are for the welds on the downpipes. You won't have any issues adding an axle back kit. If your DP's had to come off, the flex-pipes are easily removable without having to pull the rest of the exhaust. Even if you swap your rear sway bar...

The U-bolt clamps are not bad at all and probably are more secure than the band clamps since they crimp the pipe (that makes any disassembly a real pain!). They just don't win any awards as far as looks go. You won't have any issues if you use them, and they'll be mostly hidden away if the...
