I know the difference, hence my comment that Torsen does not make them for Ford smaller than 8.8. If it helps your curiosity, here’s a couple pictures: 8.8. Same size rear sway bar as the ST, and this particular one has the thre-bolt cradle as well.

It’s right there in the Order Guide: 3.58. The smallest diff Torsen makes for Ford is/was 8.8. Have a T2R in my ‘03 Cobra and it rocks. Would be a great score for the ST.

A rep I chatted with last week told me they should be shipping in the next couple weeks. Apparently they are on the way to distributors, for what that is worth.

That’s my post in the other forum. Glad it’s still plugging along and helping out.

It's stated in the directions and should be obvious by looking at the picture of it installed. No different than the other axle-back kits out there, or custom replacement of the mufflers.

Cargo net helps…

I did see that, but this shows the 304 tips anyway. I'm not worried about the main pipes or muffler body since it's probably on par with OE gear. My former '14 Explorer Sport has been through seven Ohio winters and still has the factory exhaust on it that shows no signs of quitting. With this...

It’s a bit vague, but I’m confident they are using all stainless. With their warranty, it shouldn’t be an issue. Glad you found the kit that works for you in any case.

All the info on their site, including the graphic on the previous page shows T304. The difference obviously being the tips: polished vs. ceramic coated.

^It's a nice kit. I personally just had better things to spend the extra $1100 on. To each his own though. My flex pipes are still perfect, so I'm not worried about them. Same with the DP's. No concern for the factory tubing since the OE stuff is quite durable and long lasting. I'm sure the...

Any exhaust leaks around the catalysts are irrelevant to the tail pipes, so I wouldn’t let that worry you. They are probably handled under warranty, but good if Ford recalled any. I couldn’t see an entire exhaust being replaced unless there were many other welds on the way out, especially if the...

I believe the exhaust problems (if there's a recall?) were/are for the welds on the downpipes. You won't have any issues adding an axle back kit. If your DP's had to come off, the flex-pipes are easily removable without having to pull the rest of the exhaust. Even if you swap your rear sway bar...

The U-bolt clamps are not bad at all and probably are more secure than the band clamps since they crimp the pipe (that makes any disassembly a real pain!). They just don't win any awards as far as looks go. You won't have any issues if you use them, and they'll be mostly hidden away if the...

Obviously they are cheaper, and of course they work by crushing/crimping the pipe. Still, you can just as easily grab the lap joint clamps or just weld. I don’t work for Gibson, so grousing about them is a waste of time. Doesn’t really matter anyway since the kits have been selling fine.

At least from the Ford drawing, there appear to be some attaching points on the frame that are used. Might be possible to adapt them if you’re willing to modify the bumper cover.

Yep, I inquired about that. From their perspective, they didn't want to use band clamps since the u-bolts provide maximum clamping force. Liability, I imagine. Probably saves a few $$$ as well. No worries though, the lap-joint clamps I showed a few posts back are easy enough to acquire or the...

Well, do the research and draw your own conclusions between the two. I’m not a fan of JLT stuff for my own reasons.

Not that I know, but you can always call them and grovel. Still a decent price no matter what, but the discount was definitely a bonus.

It’s not JLT.
