Are all duratec (SVT and non-SVT) y-pipes the same? I want to get a y-pipe to modify and want
to know about this before I start calling recycle centers ("junk yards").

The pipes are the same, but the flanges are different in the later years... Three hole vs the 2 hole flanges on my 95. Also more o-2 sensor points on the later years. Mine has none.

Where doy ou get the idea the later ones have more O2 sensors. All contiques have 4 O2 sensors, one before each pre cat and one after! -Andy

95s are OBD-1 and have only 2 O2 sensors total. Also my 95 ATX has 3 bolt flange. Not sure when/why the change to 2 bolt came in?

maybe twowheelin has a special animal, but I believe the flange change was in late 96 or early 97. For all you obdII people, the obdI cars only have o-2 sensors in the precats. Just 2, one on each precat. The obdII cars have four, 2 on the pre cats, and two after. Ford changes some of the wierdest things sometimes for reasons known only to them. For example, when I bought a set of gutted pre-cats out of a newer car to use on mine, I couldn't because the egr mounting hole was different on the newer pre-cats.

the 95's can use the msds headers and y pipe. you just have to be creative about plugging the extra holes.
