Default mustang exhaust

on a foxbody with an ls motor, after the swap headers of choice, are people running just a regular mustand x or h pipe into mustang tails or dumps? or are you guys doing something special/custom with exhaust.... there will be a t56 under there if that helps. its a 1989 mustang

just need to know what to keep my eyes peeled for as far as exhaust parts go

I would assume any Mustang fox body exhaust would work, you would just redo the collector area. Or you can just have a shop makeup a custom set. Depends on what look or sound your looking for. Mine is Kooks stainless headers to 3" Foxbody Mac prochamber, mufflers to stainless tail pipes. All 3" and Mac. my shop just redid the collector area to fit.

sorry no pics of it. after looking at 1300 pics and then photo bucket, no luck lol. thought I did. Your going to have to cut as close to the h pipe or x pipe off then weld the pipe to the collector and the part where you cut off. I used mandrel j bends. This way the back part is not messed with at all. Sorry no sound clips of it.
