Hey everyone, its time for another Fox to get some much needed free-er flowing exhaust. My plan is BBK's ceramic 1 5/8th inch shorties to a BBK X-pipe w/high flow cats. And then my catback SLP Loudmouth 1's LX version for straight out exhaust. Although my Fox is a GT I'm ordering a 93 Cobra body kit, which will allow the LX exhaust to work properly. My question is, since I'll be doing this myself, will any major modifications be in order? I guess what I'm really getting after is will everything fit? Will the tips hang back too short because of the shorty headers? Apologize for the noob-ness but everyones gotta learn.

The headers have nothing to do with the tips. The stock headers are also considered shorty's. Just get under there and get to work. It is any easy swap on a fox. The passenger side header is a tight area to work in ,but manageable. Make sure you get good header gaskets. I like ones with slots that allow you to drop them in place after starting 2 of the bolts.

I'm going to be doing the work just asking advice for the plan. I'm ordering the rear bumper first so the catback will work and then the rest of the exhaust will follow. And I didn't know stock were also considered shorties.
