Ford Accessories just has one style, and they dont tell you if it is for the GT or V6, does that matter? They are $45 each.....is that a good price?

I checked the website it doesn't say but they are $112. Here is the part number 5R3Z-5K238-BA call the parts dept at your dealer see if they know sizes.

This one is for the V8. They have a different one for the 6 for about $47.

I saw two different ones depending on how you run the search on the site. The part number I pasted above says is for the V8 that I see you have on your sig. They are probably different because I think the exhaust diameter is different on the 2 cars but I never compared them to be sure.

According to the site they slide on but I would drill a small hole through them and into the tailpipe on the bottom side and up under the car once they are mounted on and put a small short screw in to keep them from falling off or being stolen.

Here's some info I posted a while back. Hope it helps

I decided not to immediately replace the exhaust system on my car when it gets here, but think the tips look too small in the valance. This led me on a search for 4" tips. I found and ordered these 4" Magnaflow SS tips for $23.75 each. It was the best price I could find...thought others might want to know about it.

I got mine from 05stangkc. You might want to let him price it. It was cheaper from him than from my local dealership even with shipping.

I have been in the same position as you guys and here is what I have learned about the various ways to modifiy my exhaust tips.

They are clamped on and will not slide off. I was considering them for a while but did not do so for 3 reasons: 1) the clamp is visible when looking at the tail pipes from a lower angle. 2) If im going to replace the tips might as well go bigger. 3) didnt think i wanted to change the stock exhaust note but the more clips I heard the more I had to get an axle back.

I then decided to try looking for other aftermarket tips. I found a bunch of different ones like a flowmaster, magnaflow, interceptors and sometother ones which were all 3-4 inches. With this path I also ran into some problems. The first one is that if I wanted to go bigger than the stock 2.5 inch exhaust, you would see both pipes inside each other wich looks horrible. To solve this, you would need to cut the stock tips. There is also the same problem with the visible clamps.

A third option would be to get the aftermarket tips like the above paragraph but weld them on instead of using a clamp. Again, you would have to cut the stock pipes to make it look "right". And then you would have to weld on the tips. To me, that is a lot of work just to make the tips a little bigger and brighter.

I finally decided to shell out a lot more cash to do it right. I got a bassani axle back SS which does not run into any of the aforementioned problems. This exhaust gave me the look of the 4 inch roled tip dual walled exhaust tips, give the car a deeper more throaty sound, and can be bolted on with no welding or cutting. Hope this helps those of you thinking about spicing up those exhaust tips!

Any chance you can take some pics of these? Maybe some close ups so we can see the clamp everyone is talking about?


Does anyone else have pics of their tips installed?

Thanks

Here's another shot and you can see that the clamps are spot welded to the tip. I will have my neighbor take off the clamp and cut the stock tips and spot weld these on once my car arrives.

I have some on the way... should be here any day now.

I'll post pics once they arrive.

I'm not too worried about the clamps - unless someone is crawling around behind my car, I doubt anyone would notice.
