My customer wanted a set of headers and an x-pipe with mandrel bent exhaust installed on his car. The headers werent to big of a deal he ordered a set from Ford Performance Solutions. The install on those was pretty straight forward except the starter wouldnt fit so we had to get a smaller one, which of course the people at FPS never heard of. 
Now for the fun part. Nobody makes an x pipe or a mandrel bent exhaust for this car let alone a convertible. So I had my customer order up a universal x pipe kit and a universal 2 1/2 street rod exhaust kit which basically includes 4-45, 4-90, and 4-180 degree bends and some straight pipe. Then it was a bunch of cutting and welding, and here is the end result.
The x pipe was a little tricky because of the extra bracing underneath due to the car being a convertible. Their is also another plate that bolts across the bracing that the pipes had to be above.
And the old exhaust we took off
