A few questions

I need to get a stock dp with cat for my car because I am moving to Pennsylvania soon...
Is there any other dp that will fit on my car besides the one from the stock car?
Also, does anyone know of any seats that fit in the '87 bird and sit nice and low? I hate the way the stock seats sit so high up and I need a cheap replacement..
Let me know!

Can't say for sure, but you probably need a TC DP. What are you using now? If you need a stock one, put it in the parts wanted as somebody upgrading to the 3" DP could probably make you a good price on their stock one. You can get aftermarket cats from Summit for about $60-70.

Don't know about the seats. I have heard some Mustang seats wil bolt right in but don'e know what years/ models or about the height.

Where are you moving to in PA? A friend of mine lives in Lancaster. He told me that a few years ago the government attempted to implement emissions testing, but the outrage was so intense that they stopped the program and abandoned testing stations in the middle of construction. Definitely my kind of place. [Image: smile.gif]

As for the seats, you could find a very base T-Bird in the junkyard with a manual driver's seat and use that track, that's probably about as low as you'll be able to get.

I have the stock dp but the cat was removed and a 3" pipe was welded on.. Good at the time but bad now. [Image: frown.gif]
I'm moving to Uniontown, PA... or Pittsburgh.. not too sure where yet, but I don't want to have to worry about finding the pipe when I get there.. [Image: frown.gif]
