won't bolt right up... but any competent shop should be able to do the
job very easily...  basically you cut the stock Y pipe, fab up an X or
H pipe, use the drivers side mid-pipe from a GT and a couple of new
mufflers... the bolt holes are already there on the drivers side for
the muffler hangers...  however the muffler hangers from Ford are
expensive... Pype's sells some cheaper hangers...

Also i think the JBA dual kit comes with hangers...  and I believe the
Pypes does too...
