Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance 99 SVT Exhaust on 95 tour???

Will a 99 SVT exhaust fit on a 95 LX. I have both and when I get a Borla for SVT I was wondering if I can put the SVT ex on the 95. Anyone know???

Yes for any V-6 from any year.

Search the forums and check the FAQ and HowTo on the site. Lots written about this.

Oh, and watch out. Some guys on this forum get really upset when you ask a question that's already answered elsewhere.

Lance Kinley did it to his 95. Check this out:

This is not entirely true ... I recently tried to install a no-res '98 SVT exhaust on my '00 SVT and it DID NOT fit (I didn't want to hack up my orig. exhaust) . Sometime since '98 the gas tank changed & they changed the exhaust accordingly (I'm figuring at the E0 to E1 change) . I didn't realise it until I tried to lift the '98 exhaust up into place ... not even close . The bend around the gas tank curves right on into the tank .
Any SVT exhaust will fit a 1st generation Contique quite easily . And , I would assume , any '98 Contique . But , If someone out there wants to do a '98 exhaust onto '00 swap - it's a no-go .

Just thought I'd kick in some info for anyone listening ! Cheers !

Thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention but the 95 is a V6 so it looks like a go.

Oops! Forgot about that one.

IIRC, it is difficult to tell whether it will swap between different late-model cars or not, because someone thought that Ford was putting the "new" gas tanks on some cars, but using up old stock without regard to model year and such. Only way to know is to know what you're looking for and visually inspect.

Thanks for keeping me straight.

Yea Roger , needless to say , I was shocked (and dissapointed) when the exhaust didn't even come close to fitting . Luckily , my brother was nice enough to swap his "glasspacked '00 SVT system from his '95 SE with that '98 no-res system . Now my SVT makes some noise (finally) .
