any help would be apperciated
Excellent choice. I drive the same car, and enjoy her very much. Check out the mods section on the main Contour.org page and check through those particular mods. I really reccommend the dual mode dampner, cold air intake (whichever you choose), Magnaflow resonator p/n 12255, and which ever brand of muffler you like. Custom exhaust and intake are good starts, and the DMD really makes the car run like silk (or a BMW
