Which exhaust would you pick and why?

[Mike Pfeifer]

I ending up ordering the Mach 1 exhaust from ford...having it installed at a dealership. They called and said cause I had a h pipe on it, where the Ford instructions said to cut, made it to short. Their solution was to cut some pipage from the old exhaust and use clamps to make it extend and reach, they said that or put the factory resonator back on. They said the clamps wouldn't be visually appeasing, which I said it's under the car, nobody will see it.

So my question is, is the clamps option a bad idea, what are the negatives?

The only negative really would be if they are positioned in such a way that they may be likely to be impacted while driving - for example, positioned with it hanging in a downward direction. Because they are being supplied with an already modified system, there may not really be much choice in how to make it work without spending way more money. Even if you put the resonator back in, those cuts are already there and will still require clamps at that spot, unless you weld it. There’s no reason that clamps can’t be just fine.
