i wanted to do exhaust....i was lookin at the exhaust database and everyone says they got svt exhaust for their zetec..but they say they can hear their intake over it and i would like something a little louder. should i go w/ a header and hight flow cat then duals out the back w/ a magnaflow muffler,but maybe that would be too loud. or would i be better off just leaving the headers stock and gettin a high flow cat and duals out the back w/ magnaflow muffler. also what size pipes would be the best.
thanx for the help

Cheapest and easiest would be the stock SVT without the res.

If you've go cash to burn, get the ZXTuner Couger header for $385...

and modify a nice SVT aftermarket exhaust...

CTA Motorsports Magnaflow $440 to $635 (depending on single or dual and with or without res)

SP Motorsports Bassani for $600

SP Motorsports Borla for $700

SP Motorsports Bosal for $550

You only need short pipe between the header and the SVT exhaust to make it work. You will also have to disable your EGR if you get the Cougar header. If you're worried about emissions, stick a performance CAT in there. If it's too loud, you can always add a res later.

What the hell is a turbo thrush muffler? I'm guessing that it's some ricer piece of crap. DON'T DO IT!!! Instead of pissing away money on a shiny muffler, get a SVT exhaust. The SVT exhaust will make your car sound better and perform a little better.

I HATE fart cans!!!

I tried making one for you just now, but the damn digital camcorder I used doesn't pick up those frequencies very well. Sounds like I'm driving a Cadillac or something

Here's an old one from over a year ago. It isn't the best quality but the audio is so-so. Too bad it's an MOV file...

Now that I listen to it, you mostly seem to hear the intake. It's 18MB, btw.
