Default Exhaust: Wish I'd have known...

Having just spent good $ on converting my stock single-exhaust to a custom 2.25" dual system w/ Hedman shorties and Flowmaster S40s, only now do I find out about this choice option...



While I know the exemplar is a Fox body, I'm sure that this could have been easily adapted to my '66.

It's not too late, however, to consider the air horn option, but since mine is a convertible, I'll have to consider an alternative mounting location... Maybe the front fenders?

It was very hard not to hit the "report this image" button.

It's the advancement in the mirror location that sweetens the system up!

The dual stacks, air horns, and wire wheels were a special option on the 1987 Mustang GT's to go with the cheese grader tail lights.

I have to correct myself. I missed the trailer mirrors. That GT obviously has the 1987 towing package that Ford offered on the Mustangs.
