I have tried the Granatelli Single STB, and the Strange Development STB, and the Granatelli would not clear the Ford Engine Cover (it did on the 06-06), and the Strange would not even fit over the studs. It looks like the strut towers are shorter and have a slightly different angle on top. Also, the tuning required of 07's is different as some of us are finding out.

I just picked up a set of o5/06 flowmaster amercan thunders for my 2007 Mustang GT and no matter how tight I tighten the exhaust clamp the mufflers will not clamp down to the over the axle pipe and secure together. I busted one set of clamps so far ( the ones that came with the kit) Not sure what mendrel bent means but I still see flat spots and sharp bends in my 2007 over the axel piping. This Flowmaster kit was for 05/06 Mustang from Summit but I figured it would work with my 07. Fit is spot on but securing the pipes together is just not hapening. Slight difference in over the axle diameter in 2007???

That's correct, there's a thread with pictures here:

At least one company is working on some 07 *****, so it looks like the aftermarket will come to the rescue

Mustang Buster, I have the Strange STB on my 07, and it went on pretty well. I had to push on it just a little to clear the tops of the strut bolts, but since they're angled in, and the holes should be set to fit at the bottoms, that made sense. Didn't take much pressure, either.

The Strange does push in on the hood pad a little, but I can live with that.
