But after I got it and put the car on the lift I noticed the downpipe on the Focus goes straight back down the center through the oil pan. The Contours downpipe goes off to the left/right (depending where you're standing) side of the car. I was wondering if a oil pan from a Focus would fit on my tour, that way I wouldn't have to do a whole lot of mods. 1999 Contour LX 16v, 2.0L MTX 9mm FMS wires, Splitfire plugs Weapon R intake Superchip EBC Sports grooved rotors Green Stuff pads G-Stop brakeline kit Nice little sound system

You're going to have to modify the downpipe. I wanted to do the same thing.

Don't know if those would swap over, so no it won't work. 2000 Rio Red I4 Cougar 200whp & 210wtq at 9psi 254whp & 276wtq with NX 35shot WRX TD04 Turbo, Cut Short Shifter, Strut Tower Bar, 17" ZN Wheels, Roush Springs, Starion Intercooler, NX 35 shot, HKS SS BOV, Full 3" exhaust,StreetFlight Chip
