well the flange will have to be modded and the sencors will have to be placed in thier some how that is from what I have noticed. Other then that um... it should bolt right up to the block that is. However you will have to not only adjust the flange but you will need a downpipe becuase that header and the stock setup for the exhuast out of the headers will need be redone. I only know this because I tore down a few at the u-pull it yesterday. However I havnt actualy done installed teh OBX header.

Huh? Not real clear here...lol
What do you mean "adjust" the flange... & the downpipe also?
So are you installing this header after all? Could get a section of focus down pipe(5-6") w/ the flange & cut the contour/mystique's flange off & weld the focus piece to it. Is this what you are talking about w/ the sensor?

Oh yeah, no sh!t...Has anyone here figured out that this thread has to do w/ a completely different header than the one Hector has & trying to make it work on our car & NOT looking for the other options that have been done already? And we were looking for installation DETAILS...not "w/ some modification it will fit"...OK genius, what modifications?
It's pretty obvious that no one here is familiar w/ the one from the initial post...
This is going absolutely nowhere...
Dude WTF is your problem.....I TOLD YOU TO SEARCH the archives. That is where I posted EVERYTHING I DID to fit the header...I am not about to type everything I typed a couple times before...get off your ass and SEARCH.

"DUDE"...I hope you are joking, cause once again this is not about you or YOUR header...its a completely different style of header 
Doesn't look like yours now does it... There's been one other thread on here about the particular one I am talking about & no further info was given...thread Get off MY ass & search??? Have you read any of the above? SEARCH... I could be nice about this, but damn nobody gets it other than stealthw. who originally posted about them...looks like everyone is skimming this post & not seeing what it was about to begin w/ & making any smart remark as they'd like...and that "DUDE" is WTF my problem is

Seriously, search and quit being an idiot. READ THIS: ANY ZETEC HEADER WILL BOLT UP. The required modifications will be the same/near the same as hector's header, SEARCH for how he installed his. Maybe you shouldn't be trying to modify your car if you don't understand this. And DUDE really WTF is your problem? People offer you help yet you don't use it.

READ THIS:I know it'll freakin bolt to the block...what help Kremit, search??? yes I am aware of this feature...which is how I am coming to the conclusion that only one person has installed this header & is not available for comment.
So this is the same as Hectors huh? Maybe you shouldn't post if you don't have a header or experience installing it. Bet you don't like hearing that either...I'm hardly being an idiot, but I would like someone from your zetec clique to come out & admit that there might be something you don't know about
The whole point is, has anyone installed this header & knows what is involved? Simple yes or no, if you do then great, if you don't...don't post... This isn't something thats been posted before...at least not w/ any answers
DUDE...DUDE...DUDE...GTFU

Ok so you realize that only one person has installed that header (which he also gave a general idea of what he had to do to make it work) and I've TOLD YOU that any header will require the same basic modification as hector's. If you're serious about it, then buy it and figure it out. It isn't the most complicated thing and a shop will probably being doing all the work for you anyways.
Feel free to go home, when people are helping you and you don't appreciate that help, I don't think they could care less if you stick around.

cause
1 you are a moron.
2 no it's not the same exact one as hectors but you know what it will need the SAME MODS HIS DID
3 you would of know that if you searched
4 well you are still an idiot
5 you must me 12 years only by the way you act
6 you show a lack of any knowledge at all of any kind
7 I'll give you a hint as to what needs to be modded downpipe can you see it... I can...
8 I'm sure you still have no clue what need to me modded for aheader to work so I will stop typing
and for anyone and every one use the F$%KING SEARCH!!!! there is nothing you kiddies can think of that hasn't already been talked about in the current forums or the old ones and don't tell me you didn't find anything. you poor kids have all this info on here about this car and engine guess where all that info was back in 1998 when I got my contour..... there was none.... anything on here as in what little there was on here was ALL DURATEC related. so to all the newbies SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH SEATCH... I had to as did many other Zetec owners before you and we are why the info is here

it was some stupid little kids who want every answer handed to them cause they can't take the time to look and read what is there. if you are uncertian then you really need to buy a clue or not mod your car.
isn't blunt????

Well they fit. The bolts match up and it fits nicely into the engine bay, BUT there has to be modification. First the stock o2 sensor sits on top of the manifold. The one on the header is on the passenger side. This would not be a problem except that the A/C compressor gets in the way. The o2 sensor has to be tapped into the opposite side. (there is plenty of space and wire on the o2 sensor) Also the hole for the original o2 sensor has to be plugged. Second the downpipe is not really shaped the same way the stock exhaust is. It is also too long. It runs into the flex pipe. Also it eliminates the cat so for the people that have to be emmissions friendly the cat has to be relocated. (have to take it up the exhaust shop, got a high flow) I will have updates on the modifying the header (hopefully later today) and the downpipe issue. I will post pics as soon as I am done, hopefully this weekend. This is definitely not a project for the faint hearted. You're thoughts and comments please.

Why yes, I have updates. I am the 1st Contour with a Header. I took it to the exhaust shop and they tapped the o2 sensor on the other side of the Header (due to the spacing problem; look at 1st post). They had to make the downpipe and they tapped the 2nd o2 sensor. The hi flow cat was relocated in place of the flex pipe.
but you know what it took me all of 2 minutes to search for that and look at all the info about what is needed to be done.
