Need a catback
 

I'm in the process of finding exhaust components for a mustang to slap on the Lincoln. I seem to have found plenty of stock headers and H-pipes but have some trouble getting a catback.
i don't really want to buy a whole new one because prices are so rediculous for LX pipes. All of them seem to be over 200 bucks. I prefer something quiet since this is not a dragracing warrior meant to scare off chevys and hondas. Just want some nice sound when steppin on it and better flow.
Are stock stang H pipes 2 1/4 diameter? From some pictures I seen they look very restrictive, and especially with 4 cats. Would it make much difference on a motor not looking to go over 260 horsepower in the future?

I'd look into some fabricating for that. I had mine done at a local exhaust shop. It was enormously cheaper than a cat back. Of course, I took them headers, an H-pipe, and mufflers and they welded everything upwith flow tubes and turndowns. It looks great (still) and was pretty cheap. Besides, wasn't the Continental built on the Panther platform rather than the Fox platform (like the Crown Vic)? Might not fit with a Mustang system.
