Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches Southeast Check out my sig(under the 1/4 time)

Hey moderators, just trying to give a heads up to my fellow Contour tuners here in Florida. If anyone's interested, just PM me.

Hey Alan...did you replace your SHO y-pipe with something else?

Not yet, Msds headers are on the way....should have them the second week of Aug.(Marty stated end of July, but I always figure on the negative side). To everyone, the y-pipe is in good shape(about 8,000 miles), aluminized, off road(no cat). So if you want some more power, here's a cheap(er) solution.

I guess you paid around $600 for the headers? That is what I originally was going to do but I decided to take the cheaper way out and gut the pre-cats and buy the Sho y-pipe. Dang it...why didn't you do this about 4 months ago!!! I could have save $175

Definitely keep us all informed on how the Headers feel and sound. From all the research I found, gutting the pre-cats and Sho y-pipe seemed to equal the MSDS. I'm not so sure, theoretically the MSDS should be way more efficient at moving the exhaust.

Oh yeah guys..if you are interested in his Y-pipe.....please PM him and don't post. Thanks! :p

I considered the precat gutting, but after talking to Greg(DemonSVT), I decided to buy the headers. Apparently the factory manifolds are poorly designed, and in Demon's words could never match the flow of the headers. So, I guess we'll see.
