Hello everyone,
I am restoring a 86 SSP, LMR lists a 88-93 LX stock replacement cat back system. Any reason that kit would not fit an 86? Or does anyone have any suggestions for a stock replacement kit for a 1986?
Thanks
John

Other than a possible difference in hangers, I can't see any reason why the 87-93 LX kit wouldn't fit a 1986 model.
Most companies lump the 86 GT/LX in with the 87-93 LX models in regards to the 5.0 dual exhaust with the SS tips.

I used a 87-93 catback system on my 83 Capri when I did the dual exhaust conversion.
Current rides:
89 LX 5.0, 5 -spd..the Lemon
86 RS Capri 5.0 Auto...
86 LX Colorado SSP 5.0 5-spd (Sadly Sold)
85.5 SVO, Finally Got Boost
83 RS Capri 5.0, 5-spd (another sadly sold)
I used the factory 94 exhaust on my 79. I only had to add the pass rear hole in the frame to hold the hanger. All the rest were there already. It seams to fit just fine
I’d just call LMR and ask THEM what the difference is. Probably something minor that keeps them from listing it as 86-93 for the concours guys, even though it fits....
1986 Saleen #145
now 50k miles - still 98% original.
I'm all for helping the helpless, but I don't give a rat's ass about the clueless anymore.
Previous: 79 Cobra, 82 GT, 83 GT, 85 Twister, 85.5 SVO, 86 GT, 87 GT, 91 Saleen, etc....
