All I see in the BAT Focus catalog is the short tube header. Goes out, then up, then back down again to the cat. The cat on the zetec is mounted up and down in front of the engine, not under the car like the main cat on the Duratec. Big ugly thing. Did Eric mention a different header that they have?
I'm not willing to lose the cat, and no CE lights. I think that the long type more traditional 4banger style headers would require at least relocating the cat, something I'd have to get done at an exhaust shop with my crazy cat-back setup.
From what I can tell, it looks like JBA's header does the same thing as BAT's.
Here is JBA's header.
