Build some MIL Eliminators. Easy, cheap and very effective.

Absolutely no need for MIL eliminator, there is no pre-cat efficiency monitors on the 95's.

Yes it is "technically" possible to build your own downpipes from mandrel bends but it would take several bends (figure around $50 in bends) and would be very messy and easy to screw up (uneven inside!)
Also you would need to weld on spherical flanges to be able to mount them to the manifolds/headers.
Actually the manifold pipes are quite, quite easy to build. I had a local shop stub out two pipes for me with 45 degree flanges pressed into them. Cost all of two bucks. Then, I used a 90 and two 45's to make the front one. The rear one, I used a 90 cut off just a touch early... I could have used a custom bend from West Coast bending in retrospect... about a 75 degree bend or so is needed. Welded an O2 bung (another buck) to the rear pipe after I was done tacking it in place. Took an entire afternoon to finish the rest of the system. Total cost was under $300 for the entire system in 2" piping, including cheap mufflers.
The hangers are easy as pie. Get a cold rolled 3/8" steel rod from Home Depot or the like and bend your own hangers after tacking the pipes in place.

I didn't like the idea of the exhaust being the lowest thing under the car. Straddle one high center point and put a hot exhaust through a plastic gas tank??? I don't think so...

Micah tried running it straight and under the gas tank. Ask him how he liked it. I personally don't like the pipes hanging so low.

96zetec,
You should check out the Tuffy that just opened Monday on Broad and Waggoner. They have a mandrel bending machine and a variety of pieces over there to put together an exhaust.
I'm taking my Mustang over there for exhaust work and am considering having them do a y-pipe optimization for the 'Tour.
