    Default question about focus header in craigslist

    I came across this add and was wondering if it would bolt up to my setup. (98 zetec). and how much I should expect to pay to get it put in. http://spokane.craigslist.org/pts/274453751.html
    I'm sure I could talk him down to atleast 100, it's been on for a while.
    Thanks
    Andy

    Dont' do it unless you plan on modifing it. The Focus runs the exhaust under the engine. Our exhaust runs around the passenger side.

    is that on 98 and up zetecs because my exhaust on my 97 runs straight down and straight back, I think the cats are different though but I cannot be sure unless I looked at both.

    No offense, but I doubt it. AFIAK, all Zetec Contours have the exact same exhaust routing. (That goes for Mystiques and Cougars too.)

    Here is a good pic...



    You can see that the exhaust pipe comes out of the bottom side of the catalytic converter. It is then routed by the passenger side frame rail. A Focus exhaust comes straight down and straight under the engine right next to the tranny. Our oiplan is deep next to the tranny and shallow by the frame rail. The opposite of the Focus.

    From what I see, the downpipe will hit the A/C compressor.

    ic, ok thanks a lot guys. it looks like too much trouble to make it worth it.

    althought I'm not sure what it looks like.. I might go check it out and see if it is comparible to the one in the photo.. it wouldn't bolt on to my exisiting cat? or would that not improve much performance? and then i would have the downpipe leftover? sry if I'm asking irrelevent questions.. thanks for the help
