So the dealer installed front AND back exhaust mainfolds and a new cat!!! It sounds and performs better than when I got it last year! I am sooooo happy. It would've cost 1500 bucks but it was covered, yay! I even got a rental for the day. So anyone out ther that may even think they may have a catalytic problem, take it in. By the way, I only have 48k on the odometer. 98 E0 resonatorless http://www.pbase.com/ddehoyos/svt

I don't understand why our cats and manifolds are so $$$$, is it the labour to replace them. 99 CSVT Green/Tan # 84 of 2760 Built on Wednesday, September 30, 1998 15.376 @ 92.00 MPH Stock 75,000Km 96 Contour GL 2.5L V6 ATX 170,000Km

My work sheet had 12 hours of labor to replace the exhaust manifolds = $780.00 2. Parts were about $800.00 3. Look on the techs face after the job = Priceless. 1998.5 E1 SVT Contour #5482/6535
