Default MAC 2.5" Off Road H-Pipe, what am I getting into?

I'm going to install this off road H-pipe from MAC.

MAC 34020 MAC 99-04 Mustang V6 2.5'' Direct Replacement Off Road H-Pipe ST Headers or Stock Headers - 34020 MAC

They bolt right onto my BBK shorty headers. So after the bolt onto there, what connects next?

Is there anything to connect before I get into the mufflers (FlowMaster Orginal 40s 2.5" O/O)? And what happens next after the mufflers? Is it the tailpipes? Are these tailpipes a custom job thing? What about the rear-end sway bar?

Man, I hate sounding dumb.

Thanks guys.

lol, I know...

But I'm taking this to a bold direction. I may know people around here to give me a certificate for a certified emissions approval!

I already know what I'm getting into AFTER the whole installation, but...

What is the process like?

Shorties -> off road H - mufflers - tail pipes.

You probably already know you really don't need a mid pipe on the 6 right?

Yeah...

That Y-Pipe gets eliminated once those off roads are bolted on.

But I can directly attach the mufflers at the END of the H pipes? Or is there a small "bridge", sort of speak?

Hey thanks!

Shorties->Off Road H->"Bridge"->FlowMaster Orginal 40s->Tail pipe->Tip.

Looks like I have myself a project.
