Hey guys Im drivin a 1998 zetec black top and Im looking for an exhaust kit for it. I found some OBX headers on ebay that are for a zx2 that Ill use if they fit, but I want to do a full exhaust on it.

Any suggestions?

Will an escort exhaust and/or ebay obx header kit fit on my zetec?

Where can I find a kit for the exhaust?
 
I had an obx header on my zx2 and like the contour they delete the cat. That invites a lot of drone. My wife could hear my car coming from about a mile away..... it was loud.

Now I only have to assume that the contour header bolts up differently at the flange than an escort. It will still bolt to the head but I don't think it bolts up in the same location to the rest of the exhaust. Now for a cat back system check out trubendz I think last time I was on there, they had a kit for the zetec. If not you will be looking at going to a shop for a custom cat back set up.

Personally my favorite exhaust mod on my zx2 was my fart can. Now looking back the can looked bad but you can get a number of straight flow mufflers that don't look like fart cans and you will still get a decent tone.
 
Is there any other exhaust kit from other cars like a focus or fusion that would bolt on fit to my 4 banger?
 
Any focus cat back or long tube header won't fit, they pass under the engine in a different location. I know weapon r makes one for this platform, just look on ebay. And trubenz sells the dual exit cat back, if your gonna use that system you have to have a hanger put in on the passenger side.
 
I know the SVT cat back system bolts up and has a desent sound on zetec. Maybe check classifieds, just know the shipping will cost an arm and a leg. IMO you really aren't going to gain much from an exhaust system on a zetec so if you are just looking for some sound I would just do a high flow muffler at the end and retain you stock cat it'll help with the rasp.
