1995 V6 headers are unique in Contour-land...it's been a while so I can't remember exactly why, but apparently you can't swap '95 for other years. Pretty sure I got this info from Buckshot. He said he couldn't do a core swap when I inquired because he didn't have any '95s on hand and what he did have wouldn't work. But then, if you've got the time, you can pull the headers, send them in for the pre-cat work, and just reinstall when they come back.

BUT...if the engine is really shot, go with the 3L.
