[QUOTE="Mustang5L5, post: 1554314, member: 30520"] If you do a cat-back, chock the front wheels and set a set of jackstands under the rear subframe ahead of the axle. Disconnect the quads (if still there), the main shocks and put a jack under the rear axle and let it drop as low as you can get it before it starts stretching bushings/brake lines/etc. Put 2 more jackstands under the axle there. Then you should have enough room to get the tailpipes up and over the axle. If your stock cat-back is in great shape, draw some lateral lines through your cut zone (so it can be lined up and rewelded) and cut it off about 5-6" or so from the muffler on a straight section of pipe. If the exhaust is all rusted out/rotted don't bother. Some folks are on the hunt for stock exhaust systems for these cars given they are entering restoration age [/QUOTE]
