hello
i have 2016 Mustang GT Connvertible.
it has tuned exhaust parts.
i decided factory restoration because of Booming Vibration.
But Now I don't have my car's original parts. so i searched used parts.
now i just got 2016 mustang GT coupe exhaust parts.
before switching resonator parts, i searched ford parts number. i found out parts number difference with coupe(FR3Z-5A289-J) and convertible(FR3Z-5A289-K).

Is it Ok if i weld coupe's resonator to my GT Convertible?

If you’re welding it in the factory location I don’t think it should be an isssue. Wait for someone else to confirm but my understanding is exhaust differences are mostly towards the rear due to bracing. LMK once you find out for certain as I have contemplated going back to stock res too for similar reasons on the S type because on a vert it does drone due to the lack of sound proofing in my experience.

I did H pipe with bullet mini resonators but still not happy. I might have a shop fab up a custom H with bottle style vibrants if that doesn’t work considering going back stock resonator
