    I sent SW a message. Depending on how long they need the car, I may be willing to help.

    Mine fit like crap too, hence me not recommending the exhaust to anyone, it was a nightmare, mine was part of a group buy from, FIT Greg back in the day so they didn't offer to help me, sucks it still hasn't changed that was probably 7 years ago or more.. the headers are perfect. Hopefully everything gets resolved

    Hey Adam that's very kind of you willing to do that, it would really help me a lot and save me a road trip into going to Cleveland. I'm very thankful of that offer and I will return the favor. I love the Marauder community. Eveybody here has a heart of gold when it comes to helping a fellow Marauder brother out.

    I believe Stainless Works (SW) is and has been aware of Marauder fit issues. My hope is SW makes necessary changes toward a true direct fit. Any owner willing to loan their car for said purpose deserves our appreciation. That said, I will donate $50 to such an owner (cover gas and time spent).

    Their headers fit awesome, but the rest of the exhaust was a nightmare to install and I could never get it to stay tight.

    Did a simple Google search for "stainless works exhaust install problems" and found Marauder owners are not alone with install frustration:

    All that matters is will SW help address the low quality clamps and fitment changes needed for our Marauders. With all the Crown Vics and Marauders on the road, .........

    My first, only, and last call to them was for a replacement clamp and to ask why the muffler hangers were so short.

    They were a bit short with me on the hanger but sent a new clamp. One of the muffler hangers broke off and is now long gone but I'm not about to call back.

    When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It is difficult only for others. It is the same way when you are stupid.

    Clearing the Watts link was an extraordinary PITA and should never have gotten past the original R&D.
