1968 Ford Mustang Coupe (302/Auto) Need help with exhaust

[Arboc13]

My Uncle owns a 1968 coupe he is the second owner (has owned it since he was 17) he has kept it mostly stock with a few dress up mods (Headers are stock)
For his birthday my aunt wants to buy him a header back exhaust. He has mentioned going with the flowmaster kit.
When I went to order the kit for her I noticed a disclaimer noting the system would not fit if the car has "staggered shocks" How would I go about finding out if his mustang has the "staggered shocks" or not? (I have the vin if that helps)
Also if anyone has any other recommendations on a header-back exhaust system's I would love to hear your opinions.


Thank you in advance.

Easiest way is to look under the car. Staggered shocks means that the shock on one side of the car goes to the front and the shock on the other side goes to the rear.

Convertibles have staggered shocks. Hard tops do not.

Not always true. Performance based/optioned cars could have them too.

Easy enough to tell though, as mentioned above. Look under your car.
