Not much fitting, I should have posted, " will it fit properly." That brings us to Kerm's post.

well let me ask you this...what does fit "properly" on a Contour? the answer is, not a damn thing...to make it actually look good you're gonna have to have some type of cut out so might as well get what you want
I don't get the "not worth the cost" thing as you really aren't puttin out any money...$70 for a muffler and if you're broke, cut a damn piece out of your bumper...money saved problem solved.
I would never say there is anything not worth the cost cuz if you want it then its worth it...but you aren't gonna find an exhaust or muffler that "just flows" with the Contour, thats the bottom line.

I normally try to stay out of these conversations, but, it is getting a little old constantly reading how stupid this or that will look on a Tour. If it's not your car or your money, then don't friggin worry about it. People on this forum put way to much weight into other peoples opinions, there are some people on here that honestly have a clue of what's going on and others simply don't. Who cares if a guy has a wing and a 12" round exhaust pipe, although that is not my cup of tea, it might be his, his money, his choice.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but here it is almost to the point that if you stray from a single train of thought, you are getting slammed. The guy simply asked if it was a decent muffler for the money, he didn't ask if would look stupid on his car.
Just my opinion folks, but you all know where I am coming from, read 10 random posts, and you will find someone getting slammed about what they want for their car.
"Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one, and most of them stink."
And there are alot that "stink" on here.

he asked if it will fit properly, NO IT WILL NOT FIT PROPERLY, it'll either have to hang low or a cutout of the muffler which IS NOT A PROPER FIT. also IT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY, there are mufflers for same cost that flow better. regardless of the fact that it'll look stupid.
By the way I have a yellow grill and yellow windshield wipers, so I really don't need a lecture about people telling people stuff will look stupid. But the spray paint was less than $5. Muffler=$70 and if it's that muffler somebody gets, then it's a waste of $70.

DUDE DONT DO IT! I made the same mistake!! It sounds like a$$ rice eater shiot.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
I just upgraded to the flowmaster 40 series and it sounds nice and deep, and loud if that is what you are going for. I got my flowmaster for 50 but I got a discount on mine, so check around...If you want deep but not as loud go for the 50 series. You will need a tip for this also, so pick one out and they will weld it all for you at the shop.

Easy. The stock muffler is very short.

get a flowmaster and put it behing the bumper and tell the shop to hide it so it wont be noticeable. 40 series sounds nice, i used to have one but now all i have is a glasspack.
NEED AN SVT REAR BUMPER!!! pm me
