Exhaust came off today. I broke off a couple galled up wheel studs, but otherwise the whole process is reversible. The bolts at the header coupling were almost impossible to get. They were accessible through cutouts in the fender, but when one was stuck I had to take the spring out to get leverage on it. I had to compress the spring a bit to get it out. When I did springs on my last mustang, I was able to get the new one onto the perch but not this time.
I will probably have to get this banded if I want it back in. It will have to go in if I ever want the mustang on its wheels again. The spring rests on a perch rather than a coil over like in the Focus. I will do some measuring tomorrow. If that perch fits in the focus wheel well, and if mustang track width ~ Focus track width, I may just swap the whole subframe over.
