Guys forgive me if this is a silly question. I have a '96 Mondeo V6 which has two O2 sensors in the pre cat. I replaced the cat and Y pipe with this as my old cat dies :-

Will these Weapon R headers fit my car? I read somewhere that they have a 3 bolt flange for the cat but i don't have the standard cat any more-does that mean these won't just bolt on? Whats the deal with the EGR? A friend of mine fitted MSDS headers and AFAIK he used his old cat (two bolt flange) and had no trouble with the EGR pipe??Thanks for any help.

If you're using the SPmotorsports Y & cat, you should be able to use the headers & just sell the WR Y pipe or put it in mothballs. Your only issue will be the EGR tube, which is easily remedied.

Dude, don't post what you don't know about!

The Weapon R headers need you to use the Weapon R y-pipe.

Mondeo-dude, I am not sure of how the EGR valve is located on the UIM. You're stressing out too much and me at the same time.

Ok i'm still waiting for shipping prices.Now another spanner in the works I'm being told that fitting headers gives no increase in performance over stock manifolds and as the O2 sensor is only in the flow of one cylinder(or two counting both O2's from both banks )) the cars fueling will be off Things are never easy are they.............

Whoever said that is an assclown tell them to STFU!
