Sure looks like the SVT. Notice the 3 hole triangled flange on the bottom? You need a SVT cat or ORP to bolt that up.

That is a SVT knock off its been around for some time

what would i do about the 3 bolt pattern at the bottom, would i have to weld on an orp or then the flex or what cause i already have a cat back exhaust idk if the shop that does all my welding would be able to make a flange to fit it or not plus i need a res. too cause my exhaust is way to loud the cops have been giving me a lot shit about it...

The muffler shop should be able to weld up an orp to bolt to it but be warned as you will no longer have a cat unless you get a svt cat.

well right now i have the 4-1 header to a flex then cat then welded to the cat is my exhaust...if i got the obx from there would i have to do orp, svt flex, cat then exhaust im just kinda lost thats all

I dont see why the muffler shop could no just whip up a bolt in pipe to go between the obx/svt header and the existing flex pipe that is already there. Shouldnt cost more than 50 bucks installed. Get the header throw it in the seat and go to the muffler shop, get the car in the air and show them what needs to be done and get a price quote.

No muffler shop can create that special svt flange. You have to get one custom made, I got mine from a member on here for around 20 bucks. you then have to get the svt gasket, which NO parts stores have (even if they say they do, they don't) so you have to get one from ford, which is 27.90. you then have to go to the exhaust shop and have them make you an orp from the header to the flex. I have a zetec flex, so mine was about 14" long. cost me $50.

20.00
27.90
50.00
97.90

My svt header setup is worth every penny. My header is OEM though.

they just fabricate the flanges and the gasket from the stuff they have there...any decent muffler shop can do that.

Save your money buy a real SVT header/flex/cat setup and get either a stock SVT exhaust or aftermarket.

So your cat being after the flex pipe, you have your o2's routed all they way back there?

this is the header that i have i went into the buy/sell and asked if anyone had a svt header not the obx one someone got back to me bout it im waiting for pics nd yes also the o2 does reach all the way back there...from this set up i have the 3" cat and and 3" exhaust after and with the original set i ordered the cat never came with it so i have a 2 1/2 foot straight pipe left over so i can use that...thats not the issue i was concerned about it was how would i connect everything if i did the svt set up do i go over or under the frame....is another question i had

and this is the res i was looking to get as well to quite the exhaust down

Did you see my pics? That flex is actually the one you gave in the m2 setup. I would definately get the trubendz stuff, i have the magnaflow 18" resonator that you had the link of. Sounds good.

i think that m2 flex is shit now i think over a short period of time it separated cause i didnt have the exhaust hung up on anything and it was just hanging off of it so i would like a new one anyways to ensure good flow and sound

 

[drostedrummer89]

yea that's why my flex portion is aftermarket. it completely tore apart.

Matt

 

[sgtsmasher]

but to be honest does the svt/orp have better flow then the m2 header cause if you really look at it, it looks like its just straight flow instead of all the twisty pipes...jw

 

[focusmaniaczx3]

for the record ive been running a ebay brand "m2" 4-1 header with the flex pipe that came with it for well over 3 years now without ever an issue out of it. my only gripe about that header is that it was a bit of a pain to get it to fit right and it is way down on power when compared to the SVT header.
