I use a hydro zetec in a RWD platform.
The stock single piece steel manifold shrouds about 20% of the bottom of the port in the header flange.
I realise that most of the flow is in the upper reion of the exhaust port.
Is there is "big bore" gasket for any Zetec available in the aftermarket?
The standard piece will have compromised sealing if modified.
TIA.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Might get a better response if you explain!  Muffler shop can weld on a different flange, any setup you want.

Call me crazy, is this for a kit car with a Zetec? Last time I checked, my Contour was not RWD

I wish it was. I probably could do crazy burnouts.

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

Ayup. 96 contour block and management into a seven clone. 1450 lb with driver.  . So what do you guys with aftermarket headers use then? What do the Focus people use? I realise that the contique platform seems to be underrepresented in the aftermarket.
