Ford ThunderBird Ford thought they'd take their own stab at the nostalgia business. There are quite a few last-century icons that wear the blue oval. For a revival subject, why not use a car famous enough to have been the subject of Beach Boys songs, starred in George Lucas movies, and has been gone long enough to be missed? Why not indeed. In 2002, the Thunderbird was reborn.

I would definatly go with the Flowmaster. My second choice would be Borla. Yes you will spend some cash, but it is so worth it.

YES!

You are fine, I kept my cats, and just went straight back with dual pipes and she runs fine, also you can look on youtube. I saw some kid who had it on his bird as well and it sounds nice, go check it out.
