The web site at http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=1&q=http://web.njit.edu/~cas1383/proj/gutting%2520cats/&e=9888 is down right now. Anybody have the pics? Thanks. -1998.5 Contour SE V6 ATX. PM me to tell me of a welder that can craft me a modified Y pipe in the Los Angeles area! OR I may be willing to buy a 3 flange modified Y.

Keep in mind that I have a stock SE exhaust and an open element air filter (it has some supposed heat shield on it). On a car, there are 2 places that sound is loudest at right? The engine and the exhaust. The engine itself doesn't sound much different. The only real difference is that there's a low gurgling sound when idle (think of old fully restored carbureted caddy). However, on WOT that gurgling sound gets a bit louder (I think). It doesn't sound menacing, just a little mean. The exhaust... !! HUGE difference. It sounds like it aint stock no mo. With the WOT it sounds like my rear bumper should be hanging some 1000 lb gorilla nuts. As for performance.. ehh I can't really tell much of a difference so far. My morning commute will tell me what's up though. If there's a response or two, I'll post from work and let people know how low they're hanging. -1998.5 Contour SE V6 ATX.

I have driven more than one before and after, and the improvement is noticable. I'm sure that headers would be even more of an improvement. Jim Johnson 98 SVT 03 Escape Limited
