Exhaust on Mach 1

[Mazman]

Is it only the axelback that is different or is the whole cat-back different compared to the GT's.
Wonder if the regular X or H-pipes will do. The GT500 have a different setup looking from the cats and backwards

I’d imagine it is just the axle-back that’s different. I don’t really see much reason that they would change anything else on it

I was wondering how different the GT500 exhaust was and if it could be put on regular GT.

Let's hope they are not reusing GT500 parts besides the diffusor since the cars really have problems with the valves
I somehow have my doubts that the exhaust in Europe will be different to the Bullitt besides the tailpipes

If it is the absolute last part of the tailpipes it where actually the valves and actuator is sitting.
Don't think they would change the exhaust from US to EU, would think they either only have new welded tailpipes or the whole axelback is changed to the GT500 dito for all markets

As the GT500 is FI I don't think any of the piping would be similar in diameter

I don't think that they reused the tailpipes of the GT500 for the Mach 1. If I remember correctly, Jim Owens stated in a video, that the diameter of the GT500 tailpipes is 5 inches, whereas the Mach 1 "only" has 4.5 inches. Just the look is very similar.

@Ace
What problem do they have with the GT500 valves?

On some of the 500's they were sticking closed, I think this is because of the early build problems and they sat in damp weather before they were finally shipped from Flat Rock. But I was lucky mine worked just fine.
