OP WeaponSVT_dup1 CEG\'er W Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 165 Randolph, Ma	Was thinking of adding a better muffler, I was pondering some off brand, when I stumbled across this: Apexi N1 Style Universal Muffler Exhaust 4"Tp Price: $50.00 (+20 shipping) \| Quantity: 50 \| Quality: ? I really dont know if this is a good deal or not, That's the only thing I hate about ebay, you really dont know what you're going to get, but I was curious so I resorted to the Experts; CEG!!! Anyways here are my questions: 1) Will this fit correctly on the Pre98 Contour ? 2) Will it work the way the seller claims? 3) Is it worth it for the cost? sydtech.net ---------------- 1 Pioneer Head Unit 4 Eclipse 120w 2 12 550w Subs ( new ) - Groove Levelz @ 2000wattz ----------------

I would have gotten the duals, but since I dont have the original SVT, I figured I wouldnt do Fakes ( quassi ) and get laughed at. A friend link'd me to this site last night and since it was universal muffler I wanted to know if it would actually fit before jumping on the gun. And I'm a assuming this does fit from you're posts?

And unless your pipe is 2.5" than it will require muffler shop to make fit (not really a problem). Like I said it'll look stupid though, yes it can fit but nothing like a proper muffler. 2.It'll add maybe 1/4-1/2hp. 3.NOT WORTH THE COST. It's $70 with shipping. There are much better mufflers out there for same price or a little more. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15
