to add to this the difference is a little more as well.

the brake hose will have a stand off/bracket also connected to the axle end of the hose. This raises the hose off the axle and away from the exhaust for dual.

the axle vent is also different with this set up then with a single exhaust hose as well as the rear brake lines.

Where did you get it?....Ebay?

Nick, I got it from Currie Enterprises. They make 9" housings and as many of the trimmings as you want/can afford for all year Mustangs.

Here is the part for either single or dual exhaust, eZ:

Believe it or not that is not a pipe thread hole. It is a standard course thread. I have been through this many times. 3/8ths course if I remember right. Easiest way is to find a used one.

[fakesnakes]

Just to reiterate my earlier post, I have an aftermarket rear and the supplied fitting is 1/8 npt x 5/16 hose. I removed it, put it through my rear brake hose and secured it. It works fine.

In the event you can't find it locally, go to http://npd.dirxion.com/Main.asp and search for part numer 4022 (it's on page 141). It looks like the original part with the straight thread in case it turns out to be that.
