Hey guys, I couldn't find anything to answer my question in the forum so here it goes...
96 Contour 2.0L GL - Stock
Check engine light came on the other day, turns out my catalytic converter is bad. I was planning on putting a high flow cat and modding the exhaust eventually anyways so I figured I might as well do it now :laugh: I'm on a budget and I DO NOT want to gut the existing cat.
Here's what I've come up with:
1. swap the manifold for a focus manifold and put a straight down pipe
2. place a high flow ebay cat before the resonator under the car (there's plenty of room after the flex pipe)
3. Maybe throw on a high flow muffler if It's in the budget
My main question is will a manifold like this (from and 02 focus)

bolt onto my engine, I know I will need to find a 3 bolt flange that I can attach to a down pipe, but will it fit onto the zetec???
Also just cause im curious, would a Focus svt header fit?

any advice would be greatly appreciated!
