289 HIPO cast iron exhaust manifolds?

Buy a tailpipe kit from Summit Racing (part number FLO-15807). This is a tailpipe set for a 65 Mustang with 2 1/2" pipes.

does this part fit good or is there some modifying to it? thanx

I don't know first hand but I plan on using it when I redo mine. I've heard from others that it does fit. It's a little short at the rear and may require some extension.

Good morning Patrick,

What advantage would the Summitt pipes have over whatever the exhaust shop would use? Assuming they are a quality shop. I do like the idea of the Borla resonators. I think the SUmmit BOR20104 would work great. Opinion?

The tailpipe kit from Summit are mandrel bent pipes. Your local muffler shop will likely be a crush bend shop. Mandrel bends are smoother, look better, and aren't as restrictive as the cruss bends. The only local shop, that does mandrel bends, is in Auburn that I know of.

That Borla tip looks nice. Buy them and let us know how they work.
