the 2 or 3 bolt flange depends on what year Contour and what transmission you have. The following is off of ctamotorsports.com. All Cougars may have 3 bolts only.

NOTE: Please specify your transmission type/ year/ and either 2- or 3-bolt cat converter inlet flange when ordering. The 3-bolt converter flange is usually on all automatics. Most vehicles produced after Nov. '99 came with the 3 bolt style, and is most noticeable by the large flex connector just past the first flange. 2-bolt styles used a donut gasket without the flex joint.
