i want to delete the mufflers off my 1996 mustang gt and i want to do it myself!!! but when i looked down there i saw that i would need to bend the piece that would be replacing the muffler i just want to know how you bent it????

Mufflers themselves are straight. Why not just cut the muffler out and weld in a straight piece of pipe in its place? I don't see a reason to mess with the piece that goes over the axle. I trust your taking the pipe all the way out the back and not terminating under the car.

You realize how loud it's going to be, right? I hope you're not doing it "so it will sound cool"

no i am looking to get some hp out of it> but the pipes are like this so from one end of the muffler to the other how will i curve the pipe to fit it.

Welcome to the siteIt is about 20 degrees in a s shape,you can get a muffler shop to do it.

You're not gonna gain a lot of hp from cutting out the mufflers, and its gonna be a ticket machine after, I hope you understand how loud it will be... I have an offroad midpipe, and my car is really loud, yours will be a lot louder than that. To do this right, you'll want to mark where you will cut, and measure the length before cutting, then take the mufflers to an exhaust shop and have them bend some tubing to replace it, you can get them to flange it so you can attach with clamps, that way if you change your mind you can put the mufflers back in. I really wouldn't recommend doing this to anyone, but that's the way I'd do it. And the car in the picture isn't a 96 mustang, that car in the pic has leaf springs, and a 96 mustang has coil springs.

hey i also have a 96 gt with a 5 speed and i took mine to a shop and they did it for me.. it was only like 60 bucks... i love the sound of it.. the only complaint that i have is wen you downshift there is a cackle like no other. im sure the cops would not like that but i have never had a problem with any of them here in WI. i didnt pick up much power but it def. sounds like it has spunk.

yea its actually not as rediculous sound as some might think. a buddy of mine did it to his 02 and i dont rember it being crazy. But maybe im mistaken

There are is a mustang around me that has the mufflers removed and it is LOUD. I went with the Doug Thorley/Jardine 2 1/2" catback (stock in 96 is 2 1/4"). It has a nice mellow tone to it and I am not waking my neighbors when i come home from work at night, plus there was a differance is power after. This is the video of my exhaust.
