Nuh, uh...it's the super duper power expansion chamber. It allows the exhaust gases to expand out from the header into the larger chamber thus creating mucho backpressure (read: backpressure=torque) forcing the gases back into a smaller diameter pipe & finally exiting the system.
Get it? You will be able to do wheelies in reverse. If this is to much torque & you'd rather have a bit of high-end the super duper power expansion chamber can be cross-drilled to allow escape of some of the pressure (only drill as much as you need, do a little at a time)...
The down pipe will not be able to be used on the contour application due to the differences in the contour vs. focus (although it may be able to be modded, but the OBX isn't exactly the pinnacle of quality & probably not worth the added expense). The contour has an engine cradle while the focus has a crossmember (slighty different routes to take underneath the car w/ exhaust), also I belive there is an issue w/ the air conditioning.
But you didn't hear that from me...
Backward wheelies? Nu-uh!! TOIGHT!
