Is it good quality? Some of their other auctions say "netted 36 WHP", that seems like alot to me, can the be? ...and anyother comments will be taken. Header & Downpipe on eBay. (FYI I have VCT) ^ Look a dashed line. WOW! Now that is too cool.

Also, it looks like someone has done some grinding or something to the end port. BTW, the good headers have the downpipe flange weleded to the engine flange. This prevents weld breaks.

Also how would the downpipe be made for foci and contours? 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

Also how would the downpipe be made for foci and contours? Yep, with our oilpan, I doubt the downpipe would work. BTW, it looks EXACTLY like a pacesetter. I just found this pic over at www.newedgeperformance.com. Here's the better header design. It's a JBA, but it's also $330 with no downpipe. HTH, BP Last edited by ButtonPuncher; 12/02/03 10:45 PM.

The only problem is he states that the down pipe is for a Focus or Contour, but the two downpipes are totally different since the focus exhaust goes straight back from the cat and the Contours is toward the passangers side. www.ChicagoCEG.com 2006 White Grand Prix
