Oh sorry Kremit you misunderstood me...I was leaving work & going home...
actually in one of my above posts I had mentioned that this would be done @ my dads shop...Body shop, not muffler shop...so the answer I was hoping for was that the downpipe would bolt up at the same place it does now(if someone actually has info on this particular header)...the flange itself can be dealt w/ & also drilling & threading for the EGR at the bodyshop in order to avoid a muffler shop.
But everytime I would ask someone who was somewhat friendly & willing to give info on here, one of you guys would jump in w/ your remarks and you know exactly what I mean. I appreciate help from those who can keep smart remarks to themselves...I mean if its killing you guys so bad when you read this thread, go elsewhere...its not like I PM'd you guys w/ questions...
Group hug??? how 'bout it 'racing?

you ever look at the stock manifold it appears you haven't
still gotta mod that same thing to make it work.... the ummmm wait a second a DOWN PIPE
if we didn't say anything in these threads there would be no posts in this section.
like I said before it's all been talked about before...
a header is a header modifications will still be needed same as every other header. just as cams are cams they all work the same way they install the same same parts are needed to put them in same for cam gears too. understand yet you shall I draw you a picture?

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

As far as cams go...they are actually a direct bolt in & I wouldn't need your superior knowledge(yes I do recognize that)...
I've looked at the manifold, & I've looked at the picture of the header...they look as though the downtube will bolt in the same place(length)& if thats the case, it shouldn't be as severe an operation as Hectors(I don't want to change the downpipe or cat other than modding the flange). Just wanted to know if anyone has actually compaired the two in person. Guess not...picture drawings will not be needed as I have come to my own conclusion upon having several ideas throughout this trying thread...I am at once frustrated, but yet relieved & its nice to know that a woman like myself can be treated just as seriously as any guy on here...I still want that hug big boy

not on any car are cams a "direct" bolt on.... parts must be replaced on an cam replacement.... even if puting stock ones back in.... even more so when the lift and durations changes.... and when you look at the cams out there are made for a focus not a contour and do you know what the differances are???? I'm gonna guess you don't... so I will repost this info also that I have posted before:
difference in the camshaft,which no longer has hydraulc buckets,they are solid with adjustment by shims,which means the focus zetec has far greater choice of aftermaket cams. Hydraulic lifters limit how wild you can go.
and yes I treat everyone equal  I hate all people the same.
and as I keep saying there is a world of info in the archives and on the new forums about what can and can't be done. look around if unclear quote what you find and dig up an old thread if it's on the new site... go to most other car sites and you post questions that have already been talked about you your thread will get a nice padlock on it with the Mod or admin saying SEARCH this has been discussed before and if you get them in a good mood they may even give you a link to it. I for one think hector needs to start doing this to keep the 1,000 heard threads and the 2,000 exaust threads and the 1,000 cams and cam gear threads and the 10,000 intake threads form continuing to pop up week after week.

Obviously you haven't searched or read enough. As Joe said and I said before the DOWN PIPE WILL HAVE TO BE MODIFIED, I don't care what header you use, it's not gonna fit the same on a contour block as it does a focus or zx2. And as Joe said, cams aren't a direct replacement, though I didn't realize that either until Joe told me, but that means there is a thread (actually a couple w/i the same week) with that info. Before I ever posted on here, I spent about a month just looking at as many posts as possible, I suggest newbies do the same.

SEARCH!!!! Engine location has been discussed many times. And it's the same no matter if you have the normal contour or the contour with the engine in the back, since it's also RWD and goes in reverse the header fits the same. DUDE.

I remember my first search. I was really nervous and it was kinda awkward at first. But after a few times, you really get the hang of it, you'll really start to like it. Until it starts to control your life; you can't stop searching. Eventually, it's all you'll think about: search, search, search. Until you go insane and take an MP5 to the mall and waste 34 people. You'll realize just before you pull the trigger to end yours that you never found any relavent information in the searches because most of the posts are wasted bandwidth just like this one!!

I'll repeat this again....
The car is not in production anymore...
If everyone searched us normal people would have nothing to talk about and you Search nazis wouldn't have anything to b!tch about. God this would be a boring place!
