Hi Mark,

I was over at Nick's yesterday and he showed me some pics of your car. It looks to me like it was probably originally built as a Roadster model rather than an S/C....bumpers, no roll bar, etc. That might explain the side pipes fitting the way they do. As an alternative to fixing the pipes, you could go back to the undercar exhaust like my SPF 023 and have a beautiful street version....guys don't like them so much, but women love them :-)

Thanks Bill but I think my wife is just gonna have to deal with the side pipes lol! The nice thing about this car is it came with a lot of documentation, so I can see what previous owners have done. The car was originally just built as kind of a mutt for lack of a better word. The original owner built it with a 350 Chevy engine, 4 spd, and some awful bolt on turbine style wheels. Thankfully the only thing that remains is the side pipes. When they swapped engines back over to a Ford I dont think they took the time to fit them correctly. Ill try to post a copy of an ad that the first owner made when he decided to sell the car in '93 so you can see what Im talkin about.
