Well i just checked out JBA's web site. They are the focus zetec headers and are $329. I guess e-bay is the best way to buy. Its better than the remus headers for 1000 and something dollars If I knew for sure that it fit directly to the cat then i would buy it. How did you eliminate your cat...just a strait pipe to fill in the space?

Yeppers, but not a good idea if your state has Emmissions testing like here in Illinois.

on the original manifold , my dad made a template of the original manifold opening, used a plasma cutter to cut a new flange out of steel, drilled the 4 holes, made a gasket, welded a custom pipe to the flange. same way this one is being done , custom flange and pipe.

the header itself goes on, yes. but i had to make a flange and downpipe for it.

unless u wanna spend 109 bux for the ZX3 downpipe with a flange, which is basically the SAME thing i made, for like $8 and does the SAME thing then be my guest. the ZX3 one MUST be hacked up to fit because of the dumb bends in it.

you can buy it here, dumb pipe or, u can wait till i post pics of my flange and pipe, and decide if u want a header or not, and i can make you one for less + shipping. your choice.

Not a bolt-on....big surprise. Mine fit fine too....except to the rest of the exhaust. I just hope you don't have the same problems as every other ZX2 or Focus.
