Default X-pipe advice for a 2007 v6

I recently purchased gt take off mufflers and i'm wonder which x-pipe is better to use when I'm going to put the mufflers or...
either the pypes:

I'd go with the pypes one, cut and clamp can be a problem sometimes with cuting it right etc.

Here is another option that I personally have on my car...

http://www.newtakeoff.com/mustang_V6...2005-2009.aspx

it is a complete system and if you take your time you and a buddy can install it in a few hours... watch the video on their site to see just how to do it.

It fit perfectly btw

i have that Pypes, its holding up very well.

Don't you need it to be 2.25 inches then go into 2.5 inches at the catback for the GT stuff? I was under the impression that the 4.0 had 2.25 inch exhaust and the GT had 2.5 and thats why you can't just take a GT mid-pipe and bolt it up to your stock manifolds.

either one, I have the ford racing one....have them weld it in or it will rattle......I had that issue, dealership put washers all around the underside of the clamps to fill up the spacing causing the rattle (didn't solve it) --- I did feel bad for my exhaust guy when he got showered with rusted washers when he took the clamps off to weld it all lol
