OP Cody Jackson New CEG\'er C Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 41 San Diego, CA 92115	Not too long ago i posted about a fuel concern. I stated that at about 3500 - 4000 rpms, my car would start puttering. I had a full tank of gas and i just replaced the fuel filter. If this happens to you... try not to drive your car. It is a sign of catalytic converter. The 2.5l high output engines have 3 catalytic converters, and all of them have to be replaced. If you are not a do it yourself person and have ford mechanics do this job for you, you are looking at $2500, i know from experience. 2000 CSVT Black Magna Flow Exhaust KKM True Rev Intake 17" Enkei DM5 Yokohama ES 100 215/45/17ZR Carbon fiber front and back All in all... a fat car

Someone on here did it and tested it. Also driving with no cats is not environment friendly. You could gut the pre cats and put on a high flow magnaflow cat like I did. $100 verus Ford's $2500 for all 3 cats. 1996 2.5LT V6 Contour ATX My Tour+help/info pics E0 rims, Gutted Pre-Cats,CTA Custom Exhaust & Intake, Diablo Chip.
