My friend got the guys at meinikie to a "free flowing catalitic convertor" on his VW Jetta. It sounds pretty ****ty b/c he replaced the res. and muffler w/ straight. He told me that it will pass emissions and was totally legal. Does anyone if this is true? I really like the way he gets them back fires but will it be that way on our cars

I suppose I'll give Modern Performance a call on Monday and see what they have to say. If they'll let me return em because they don't fit I'll probably order this week or next. http://www.modernperformance.com/ford/jba_headers_for_dohc_focus.htm That isn't a Focus engine bay they have a picture of. Focus has a black valve cover and no prop rod. That may be a ZX2, looking at the location of the dip stick.

Thanks For everyones Intrest in my set-up.
I will post some pics. but it going to take a bit b/c my scanner is on the frizts. For clearence it has no problem, it also keeps the engine bay cooler. BUT if I had to do it all over again I would buy the long tube header(the one thet say isnt street leagal), b/c If you buy the shorty header you have to fab. a colloter for the other side of the pipe were it bolts to the header. And for price to in stall it, I don't know b/c I put the set-up on my contour.
