I apologize for the bad photos. EXHAUST INSTALL! This is going to be a 2 part post because I want to go over the kits properly. In the second post I’ll detail the kits I used and my experiences. It took 3 different kits. THREE. It took 2 1/2 days to install the final one, and third worked for me. Out of everything on my resto project, this was the freaking worst and I hated it and I threw a wrench a few times and cursed a lot... but I didn’t give up!
The pics look slanted because I was under the car on an arm so they aren’t aligned.
The third kit I used worked, but I did have to remove the bumpers from the leaf spring and cut down the bolt (which is specified in the manual) and reinstall the opposite way. That part was a pain.

DOUBLE FLARE YOUR BRAKE LINES ! Learned the hard way after doing a single flare. Double flaring helps ensure no leaks will occur. I used two different flare kits, the first one was awful (those standard kits) and the second is this one from Titan which is amazing and easy! Used an angle grinder to trim the brake lines purchased from @cjponyparts , then some brake cleaner after the flare was done. .

Nice work! Thankfully the body looked in decent shape to start with, lots of these are pretty rusty at least around here. Inspiring me to get a Mustang of my own!
