Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance advice on cougar exhaust

If you're truly going for performance, you're going to want the headers. Whatever you suck in with the intake, whether it's open element enginebay, CAI or Forced Induction- you're gonna want to shoot it out the back end as efficiently as possible.

Precats new from ford would cost something like $1200. Headers are a cheaper alternative

ok i just got back from ford and they gave me a quote for $585.00 for both plus shipping. So they are the same as the headers. I understand the whole concept of letting out what you take in but would there be that big of a difference with stock precats and everything from the y-pipe on back aftermarket? if there is where or what kind of headers other than msds can i get.

thanks but msds called me back2day and told me that they can have me my headers in 3 weeks, so im gonna wait the wait and just get them. Now all i have 2 do is decide on a exhaust.
