Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Zetec Performance just installed the SVT exhaust

after finally finding a garage willing to do thw work, I have the Exhaust on the car.

while driving home, i first thought something was wrong: no loud noise, no nothing. Only thing I could REALLY hear was the CTA with the bigger K&N filter.

I was kinda of disappointed. I wanted something louder.

Sunday I went to moms house to wash the car and the bike. I used to be more caring... it is june and that is the first wash of the year.

So I had to ask my girlfriend to drive my car while I was moving the bike around: What the hell !!! That thing does sound nice !!!

Now I am all HAPPY again !!

I was worried it woudn't sound nice.

It is not LOUD, but definately has a better tone. Much better than stock. No doubt.

Do you have MTX? It sounds best during low rpm engine braking.

i do. And actually you are right. I just found that out yesterday. It does sound even nicer when at very low RPMs...

Does it still have the stock resonator?

Yes...

And that is a long story... it seems like if I decide to change that it will cost me a lot: they kind of screwed up welding portion of the installation and now the whole thing is welded at the inlet of the resonator, meaning that upgrading it would become a problem.

It would be easier to remove it completly than putting a highflow in there.


(wow.. I never thought about that... maybe it is faith... maybe I should just bypass it... no resonator at all)

I wouldn't have expected it to be loud anyway, being a stock exhaust and all...

sweet....i envy you

switch the stock res for a magna flow 10425 from stazi, i did, i would like to know the sound if i just ran straight pipes?? one day i may

Does the exhaust have 2 pipes coming out of the back? That is what I want so badly.. how much did it cost?

yes it is...you can get one used from people on here for pretty cheap...check in the classifieds
