Default Straight pipe, no cats

I found a straight pipe, no cats with stock muffler and a turn down after the muffler for $16 at the yard. I'm in the process of changing it out in between rain. Can anyone tell me the difference I should notice?

Sounds and feels great. 2 1/4 pipe. Can I put a tailpipe from a 5.0 with the chrome tip on it and it not lose power?

Hay 93 they make a 2 1/2" tail pipe for the mustang and it fits perfect. Tom jr orderes them in the body shop. I will ask him when he comes home. He is chevy hunting tonight with my TC.

Yeah. The driver side tailpipe from a 5.0/GT. Now if I get 1 with the chrome tip on it like the 5.0's have, will it kill anything? I believe the pipe is 2.25 all the way to the muffler, then a turn down. And I believe I can get the Ranger tubular header on this setup easier.

Today I was coming home from work, when it hit second gear I floored it. That little phucker shot from 20 something to 55 in no time. It also shifted into 3rd later, like the beginning of the red.

I found it on a 92' 2.3l mustang at the junk yard. Paid $16 for it. I'm guessing I got lucky.

Get a flowmaster on there, that muffler looks like a joke, stock one is, cheap one is, flowmaster on nice chambered muffler.
