When I put Magnapacks on my 94 they fit all GT's from 94-98...so even the 5.0 & 4.6 didn't make a difference...but the New Edge is a different catback...probably very close I bet, might even just be the hanger locations but I'm not sure.

yea i know that the 98 has the strait hanger that points toward the rear of the car and from what i can tell the 99 ups have that too... wonder if the hanger on the muffler is different? From those things i think the actuall muffler is different too. Kinda like how fords cat backs us the good sounding loud muffler on the 99 ups only

its nothing but hanger locations. cept with the cobras where they have to go around the irs

 

[scarface]

the hanger locations are different as said above. The reason Magnaflows fit is because the hangers are designed to fit all the years.

so scar which hanger is different? the end of the cat back pipe's hanger is the same... i didn't see a difference in the one on the muffler either?

94-97 SRA v8 cars have a different hanger for the tip. 98-04 SRA v8 cars have the same hanger for the tip. you can either swap where the hanger goes into (bolts on to the car, can prob get it from a junk yard or something) or you can get the proper tips. all other hangers/flanges are the same. 99-04 cobras are almost entirely different because of the IRS. on the SRA, the pipes go over the axle. on the IRS, it goes under the pumpkin. if you swap out the SRA for the IRS, then its a perfect fit as well. the mid pipes still bolt on the same way, either to an SRA catback or IRS catback

???, so the 98-04 has the same hangers for the muffler? it looks like it from the pics, i know that the hangers on the tips are the same for my car "98" and the 99-04 gt's I'm just wondering about the muffler hangers

Do you guys know anyone with this system on there cars? i looked it up on youtube and only found ultraflows and bullets?

the 98 exhaust hangs from the over the axle pipe. My 97s first hanger was on the muffler. 98+ makes it hard to run dumps at the muffler. I ran my 97 with dumps...no tail pipes at all.

well i know 99 and 98 catbacks are interchangeable, hangers in the same locations as mine. swapped out the stock catback from my friends car (99) into mine (98) once, and everything bolted in fine. i just wanted to hear what mine would sound like with flowmasters....didnt like it

 

[voidfinger]

cool, that answers my question

its just that i looked on the dynomax web site and those mufflers for the 99 up cars wasn't even listed ?

eh, prob for the same reason some places (mainly frpp products) only list things for the 96-03 mustangs even tho it will fit the 04's as well....they are just too lazy to update.

I have a 98 catback on my 99 right now. The first hanger is on the over the axle mid pipe ???

 

[reivaxtorres]

really? on mine, the hanger was welded onto the muffler (looked factory to me) and the hanger bolted onto the car was before the axle. :dunno:

maybe someone messed with mine before i got it.

might not work because of our side moulding, but if you really wanted to, you could make it work. you would just need to get customized hangers.

that sounds like my 97... the 98 exhaust I run isnt like that (I have 98 hangers on my 99)
