With the motor being pretty much the same, do you guys think that all of the exhaust systems (as far as long tubes/shorty headers and midpipes go) will be useable with the 2015 5.0? Or will there be changes to the motor or chassis that will make them unusable? any info is appreciated. I know we'll have IRS so the cat/axel backs are out of the equation completely.

Do you mean will previous gen parts be applicable to the 15? In that scenario I would say almost certainly not.

If you mean will the aftermarket develop shortys/mids/LT's, then the answer is a resounding yes.

Yea, i'm referring to the '11-'14 parts being applicable with the '15. I know they'll eventually make new stuff for the '15, but IDK how long that'd take...I want long tubes like the DAY I pick my car up lol. Thanks for the response.

I believe the exhaust ports on the 15 may be bigger but not sure. If so, the headers won't interchange, however, there are always custom made headers:headbang:

No way. The position of everything will most likely be different. The k-member, steering column. All the accessories. Everything.

Some may be available at or near release date but wait until several companies do the R and D first. It won't take long either way. I purchased my 11' in August of 2010 and had headers, Xpipe, and mufflers installed within 2 months. This also took about 30lbs of weight off the car. Loud as hell sounds awesome, but smooth and quiet at normal RPM.
