Which brings up another point - the EGR bung. Dont the Cougar owners also have fitment problems they must overcome to get the EGR tube to install on the WR headers? Same as the problem with fitment on the Contour.



The headers were test fit on an 01 or 02 Cougar. That model has a different EGR location, 1 secondary O2 sensor, and a slightly different mount. (IIRC on the mount)

So yes 99 through early 01 has the same fitment problems. (i.e. most of the Cougars or a good 150k of the 183,464 Cougars produced from 99-02)

Later 01 and 02 do not. 1/6 of 99-02 production.

W-R's brilliance shines through... (cheap shot but it was just too easy )


If you took CDW-27 productions numbers as a whole. They would fit roughly 2.5% of the production run without modification. If every car was a V6 that is.
