I just got one with open ends and had a friend weld it in for me. I don't know the website off hand, but a search engine should bring up lots of links. 2000 MTX Cougar Custom Dual Exhaust, Supercharged Contour SVT Engine (returnless), 75mm Pro-flow, oil cooler, Stage 3 SPEC, MSDS, Magnaflow HighFlow cat.

I am sure it is exhaust related cause the rattle changes when I rev or let off the gas. I have a smog check coming up soon so I need to get this squared away. I checked previously and it sounds like it is coming from drivers side of the car.. below the air filter area.. couldnt take a good look.. but will soon. Any ideas? If it is the cat is there a good aftermarket hiflow one to use? Thanks CEG. 1999 Silver Ford SVT Contour Assembled 08/06/1999 - #2555 of 2760 formerly known as flummox

You can get a replacement from http://discountconverter.com/ I'm not sure of the pipe sizes on your setup, but they have a good selection and good prices. I'm using a dual in, single out, Dynomax superconverter on my modified Y that is similar to the sho shop setup. Scott 95 SE-2.5L ATX (Sold, but not forgotten...)

I was pulling out of the gas station last weekend and I got on it a little.. looked back and there was greyish smoke! I freaked out so I pulled in across the street into a parking lot.. gave it a few revs and the smoke went away.. so did the rattle. I found a some small chunks of something in the tail pipes. Seems the cat totally went away. I sent an email to ShoShop about it and asked what their warranty is on their cat and y-pipe. This totally sucks.. looks like I am going to have to put the stocker back on to get my car smogged.. cause I have a feeling this wont get settled anytime soon. 1999 Silver Ford SVT Contour Assembled 08/06/1999 - #2555 of 2760 formerly known as flummox
