Default Re: FMS-M-5230-M51 cat-back exhaust kit-anyone have it?

Well, in case anyone is interested, the pipes are very nice. It's all stainless and used band-type clamps to connect the pieces. Nice, smooth, mandrel bends and 2.5" throughout. The mufflers are welded on, however. The bad news is the system necks down to 2" OD at the mufflers!!! WTF!? They are stamped with "FORD" and may be factory type muffs. They are a narrow body, so might be just a little bit louder over stock. We're debating on just installing as-is or putting on different mufflers. At the exit of the muffler, the pipe immediately bends upwards, leaving no room to clamp on a different muffler. Oh, and the polished 3" tips are a nice touch. $220 at John Bleakley Ford.
