no, I'm saying the whole exhaust, piping and all from the svt contour
As much money and work that is takes to make a zetec move fast I think joelio had that best idea yet to move up to an svt.

The problem I'd have is paying someone to put the parts on. I can't just put an SVT exhaust system on without doing headers as well, otherwise it's a bottleneck. Replacing all of that with Focus and SVT parts will cost big money around here where I live. And that would probably give the most gains first. Then I'd need to get the intake paid for and could put that in myself. Then I'd need to get a superchip and up my gas two grade levels, costing even more money. Then I'd have to tell the wife I've not gone crazy riding around in my poor mans ricer.

And then the intake is a bottleneck so you add a turbo.....

91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)
FS: SVT rear sway bar
WTB: Very cheap beater

It's too bad we can't run a straight pipe right from the headers and out the top of hood like some of those monster trucks.

so then you get your race header for zxtuner and an svt exhaust from someone on CEG...would cost you maybe $500-$600 total.
