Be Gentle I'm New Here
Hi all.
My name is Mark and I recently bought a 1998.5 SVT Contour about 5 months ago. It has about 200,000 miles on it and needed some TLC but now it is up and running better than ever.
I am now attempting to add a bit of sound to my CSVT, as the stock exhaust is very quiet. I purchased the trubendz tubing kit, got everything ready to go, got under the car and realized… at some point, someone must have replaced the cat, but did a poor job. It appears that the cat and resonator should be separate from each other, but on my car they have been welded together. (Parts 4 and 5 on the attached image)
Does anyone have any ideas? Otherwise, maybe I can cut part of the mounting bracket out of a 2.0/2.5 contour at our local junk yard? (Junk yards are strict right now and will not let you purchase an entire cat).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
