hey guys wondering if it would make a difference if i switch my header for the stock svt header? performance gains? or anything that would make a difference? would it just be a nice and easy installation?
There will be a big improvement by installing the svt header on your car. You can get the complete kit at mcnews automotive. The install does a take a little time, but its nothing you couldn't do yourself.
both also available at mcnews automotive as well. look for Random Tech hi-flow catalytic converter... it'll say for the SVT header to zetec engine install
There will be a huge improvement the SVT header is long tube so you will get more scavanging which translaes into more horsepower. The SVT header will also keep the cat if you get the kit from McNews automotive. You should see a huge difference if you get an SVT header, Random Tech Hi-flow Cat (or Off Road Pipe), and a cat back.
Or if you have a little skill you could cut off the o2 sensor bung and the flange off the pipe that runs from the stock header to the mid pipe, get a flange cut out that matches the svt header and weld up a little pipe that runs from the svt header into your stock system and use a couple gaskets and u got it
I did this and it made my car come alive !!
I did it without the McNews kit tho..... (PITA)
but didn't have the 700 - 800 bucks to do it
Good luck with your install and the gains are quite worth it
especially if you can get your hands on a stock SVT exhaust (flex-back)
whoa didnt realize such gains, well iam going to get the svt header, but is there anywhere on the forums with detailed instructions, including what is needed and not, and how to?
I would just contact McNews and talk to Ray. Ask him if they send installation instructions with that kit. He's very helpful and I'm sure he can hook you up [thumb] Tell him that Brad sent you []
