I tried the zx2 which bolted to the motor fine, exited just above the A/C compressor and got in the way of the oil dipstick so I'm gonna find the cheapest focus header and try it!

Of course it will probably mean taking and lengthening the O2 sensor wires and locating the cat under the car....more plumbing will be needed but hey, it will be worth it! The JBA's cracking welds are not new nor are they from mounting on Contiques. That has been found to be a problem no matter what car. Bummer Just as soooooon as I can get the green stuff I will be attempting that maneuver. But unless I can get it sooon, I am sure someone else will find out B4 I do.... '96 Mystique, Zetec, MTX. ---Mods--- Removed both intake resonators and airbox. Installed APC air filter and APC crankcase ventilation filter. Removed exhaust resonator. Installed XM Satellite Radio. Replaced bad alternator and 175a fusible link...much fun! Intake plenum---GONE!!!! My car growls louder than yours. If I can't buy it, I'll build it...Trust Me!!!!
