I know the early Mustang GT's exhaust pinched down to 1 3/4" just before the louvered tips. I cannot remember for the life of me what size outlet the manifold had? Most likely it will be an order from ERA, or Hawk. Can anyone help me with this information?
I considered the Hawk, but went with ERA for a few reasons. One reason was because at the time they only offered the MGB suspension on the car. Another was I didn't want to deal with a purchase from across the "pond." If you go with the Hawk I'd be interested in your experience with the car because I'm considering their slabside as a companion for my ERA FIA in the future.
