If not, Watson engineering does and they custom bend everything. It may cost a bit more than 350, but were are talking the real stuff here, not the standard pipe...... good luck getting watson to do much of anything anymore...and Doug will ues stailness if you want but it is not TIG welded so the welds will still rust. Stainless is a waste of cash on a Contour to begin with....the al. pipe will outlast the car most likely....I had Al. pipe on mine and it was fine...he paints every weld with some special stuff.... People suck. Rev it till it MELTS.....

The parts needed for true duals are: -2 flex pipes -X-pipe -2 resonaters -2 mufflers I got all my parts from Stazi and it cost me $525.00 at the time, so the price could vary now. This may sound like alot and it is, but could've cost alot more. For example the X-pipe was supposed to cost me $150.00, my cost from Stazi, $70.00 , but the price now could've changed, contact Stazi and see what he can do for you. You'll also need MIL eliminators and that too Stazi can get for you, but I bought mine from Dallas Mustang and they're all ready to go with male/female connections. Those cost me $70.00. In total I have about $950.00 tied up in the exhaust system and it really sounds good "THEE" Roger R USMondeo@aol.com 2005 Crossfire Limited coupe' -FOR SALE @buyout price & I'll... -throw in my 93' Regal as winter car Dragon Run 06'...Oct 12-15th Puur-fection Auto Detailing Complete packages from $140.00

If you want to buy your own mandrel bends from JC Whitney Doug can use those for your exhaust system. ~~~~~~Mike~~~~~~ Black 2006 VW Rabbit Silver 2000 Contour SVT - SOLD ~~~~The Car~~~~~

If you want to buy your own mandrel bends from JC Whitney Doug can use those for your exhaust system. that is what i did, but he did have to tweak a few of the bends to make them fit properly, but no harm to the bends themselves. the more material you bring with you for him to use the cheaper the install will be. i also had a 7 foot long piece of 2.5" tubing for him to use as well as the bends. this was over a year and a half ago....

I'll definately have to stop by to see them again soon--of course while I'm there it would hurt to bring my car over to have some work done on my car. I've been thinking of having my exhaust upgraded, although duals would be a waste on my Zetec--I would like a new muffler and resonator (magnaflow?) and 2.25 inch piping from the cat back.
