Someone else will know what you need, but can you specify what modifications may concern you? J.T. 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 294ci V8.

If you want to stay legal, you'll need to add a downstream cat. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Are these stock cougar headers or aftermarket replacements, and if they are where can you get them? 1995 Mercury Mystique MTX Zetec Silver Grape 130+ K and still going strong

WeaponR Cougar headers are stainless steel & can be found on Ebay. As always be careful who you deal with, pay a few extra bucks to buy from somebody with plenty of positive feedback. There are other brands out there for the Cougar, I think... Search ZX2racing.com or sup'm like that & you may find some other Cougar headers. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

From reading previous posts in Zetec Performance and other sites/forums, I have heard nothing but HORRIBLE reviews of the Weapon R CAI. Can the same be said about all of their products, i.e. their headers? 1995 Mercury Mystique MTX Zetec Silver Grape 130+ K and still going strong

I've installed header sets from WR and MSDS on V-6 Duratecs and they're fine. Their intakes do suck and are overpriced though... Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I don't know what the exhaust and cat look like for the earlier non-VCT engines in the Contour, but the later VCT engines might connect up and maintain emissions legality. With this setup all you are going to see is some improvement of top end power by eleiminating restricted flow of the OEM log manifold.
