I thought my car may have been done this afternoon, but they called me around 5 and said it won't be done until tomorrow. He said it is a real biotch taking the manifolds off of a 5 year old car and the Contour is a pain to begin with. He is only half done and has worked 6 hours on it!!!! Would hate to see the labor charge on this sucker when it is done. thats strange, the cats were one thing the dealer had no problem with. ah ha! i just realized why.... it wasnt long after my motor was replaced that teh cats had to go.... ok me shut up now NY State Trooper: So what makes your car so special to have SVT all over it? Me: Er...It was made by Fords SPECIAL Vehicle Team?

I talked to them today and he said they were breaking studs left and right and now the rear flange (after the cat) is broken and the two bolts are broken with it!!! Sounds like they are having a lot of fun with it!!!! I wasn't going to tell them that the flange was half a$$ed put back together to begin with, but at least they will fix it. Now may be a good time to put on a cat back when they are finished, because I will have new bolts, and a new gasket on there!!!! 1998.5 E1 SVT Contour #5482/6535

I should take a picture of them and post. They had to put new bolts and a gasket at the y-pipe flange before the main cat , so that is cool if I want optimize my y-pipe.. Hint Hint... Jay Jay.... I am sure it will be real easy to take the Y off now!!!!! Elky, we going to do this or what????? 1998.5 E1 SVT Contour #5482/6535
