That's what the ST200 became when they changed to the new body style in 2001. (btw the 3L and 2.5L engine can use the same exhaust parts )

There are NO Contour/Mystiques after 2000 so there are NO new body style cars in the US. There are going to be zero aftermarket parts or owners here in the states.


I know you aren't talking about the 97/98 body change because that was when the SVT (early 98) & ST200 (99) came into existence so you seem to have some of your information incorrect.


If your stock exhaust is mandrel 2.25" it's decent if you replace the resonator & muffler with straight through designs.

Like stazi said a better improvement is having a custom MANDREL BENT 2.5" exhaust made.

If it's not mandrel bent it isn't sh~t. PERIOD.

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
