Well, I just picked up a set of WR headers on Ebay for $252.50 & $17 shipping. All you gotta do is e-mail him & ask for the Cougar headers and offer him $250 or so (I think his shipping costs went up so the price might be up $20 or so). He should have 3 sets left if you're interested. Otherwise, the lowest price on some proper headers is about $385. Here's a link: Ebay store I'll give you a report on the ease of install in the next week or two. I know there will be concerns about that. Anybody else have experience with WR headers for the Zetec? By the way, I'll post pix tonight. Last edited by TourDeForce; 12/29/05 02:27 PM. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Given a choice between stock replacement or headers for $250.... Yeah, you got it. Here's the set: O2 bungs, flex pipe, nuts, bolts, washers, and a pair of flange gaskets. You'll have to re-use or replace the header gasket. Over 100K on the car, I'll be replacing. Welds look pretty clean. Interior work is nice, but can be touched up a bit. I'm gonna leave them as is. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Once you find out, I may (90% chance) get one, if they have one left. 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

IIRC (which I prolly don't) that was an issue for some people putting headers on their zetec... 2000 Mystique LS Duratec 2.5L MTX

How's it looking as far where the EGR is going? IIRC ... that was an issue ... putting headers on their zetec... I know it was an issue for the V-6 cars, but I thought the Zetec with VCT did not have a traditional EGR system. Well anyway, all these questions & issues will soon be worked out & posted. They're gettin' installed, that is certain. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Along with some suspension upgrades for my Mystique - which are a priority. That reminds me. One bloke asked for pictures. Gotta send those along... <==(* Makes note to self *) Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
