How long should a whole exhaust replacement take on a 1985 Mustang GT???
 
Hi Guys/Gals,

I got a whole new exhaust for my baby from front to back consisting of the following:

Flowtech headers
Flowtech Off-Raod H pipe
American Thunder Cat-back System from Flowmaster

Now I thought for sure that doing this myself would be a real pain and I kept on seeing articles saying it was easeier with a lift..........etc etc.
So I gave this job to a mechanic I know who does a lot of this stuff for older muscle cars..................he started mid morning this morning and will only be finished tomorrow morning mid morning. My question is, how long should this take???? I just hope he doesn't charge me for every single hour?! Any of you guys got good experience with this? :confused:

Thanks

i've done it with the car on jackstands 2' off the ground and it took about 3 hrs, the headers is the hardest part!

You will also be needing a double hump transmission crossmember from an 86-93 5.0, and the job can be done in 3-8 hours depending on condition of the old parts, rust and available tools.
