[QUOTE="static74, post: 12860643, member: 82255"] I'll snap some pictures of clearance today when I get to the shop. I used a UPR kmember and I have plenty of room - no frame clearance issues. I actually got the car started up yesterday and ran it for a few seconds. Pretty exciting. I need to start fabbing up my downpipe, its going to be 4" round transitioning to 4" oval under the kmember, electronic dump, then Y into my cat-back. I feel at this point I can give an honest opinion of the hotside and it seems like people are looking for an apples to apples comparison to on3. The thing of it is that on3 provides an out of the box, zip tie/glue/tape/cut/and hack it on kit that will get you going down the road for the most part. I think its OK for beginners, but the quality just wasn't there, and I get it - it was a $3000 setup. CG Fab is purely the pipes and the pipes only. It is up to you to know what your doing with the oil, coolant, suspension, and electrical systems. On3 claims that their kit "fits" with all factory equipment, and results have obviously varied from person to person, where as CG's [B]RACE[/B] kit (the only I have had experience with) disclaims that AC and ABS may not work. According to other users, CG's street kit will work with AC but you will sacrifice your sway bar, which I am not cool with myself. I will say this though, CG's kit [B]FITS[/B], and it fits well. I had 0 alignment issues with the hotside, everything fell into place as expected, and the craftsmanship was much better than on3's. The bottom line is that if you are looking to roll your bone stock, fresh off the used car lot Mustang onto jackstands and slap a turbo kit on, on3 [i]may[/i] be ok for you, but there are better fitting options that obviously cost more, such as Hellion. If you are a bit more experienced, or have decent help, CG can offer a bare bones build your own turbo kit that would fit applications from mild to track only setups, but require the know how as far as making other systems work/fit.
