I'm upgrading the exhaust system and i'm trying to decide on what stlye of header i should go with shorty style or long and what brand i should go with. i already own the ss cat back exhaust. any input would be greatly appreciated.
welcome - which exhaust do you have (what diameter) and what are you doing about the cat?
i have a catback exhaust system ss 4.5" tip 2.25" light weight piping n1 style titanium tip chances are i'm gonna need to change the catalytic converter.
With a long tube header (eg: the OE SVT one) you will definitely need a different cat and you will have to modify your cat-back exhaust.
OTH, most of the shorty headers IIRC work with the stock Zetec cat which means you can keep your current exhaust intact.
