Exhaust recommendations?

ford06 · Thu Jun 18, 2009 12:55 pm

So I am still deciding between the ZX3 or Jakes SVT. Id prefer the SVT. but I cant the exhaust system I wanted. I origanally wanted the FSWerks Race exhaust system. I love the way it sounds....but you cant get it for the SVT. any ideas on something close to the sound and price for the SVT???

ZX3 exhaust system will work with a SVT.

ok. cuz it said on line that it wouldnt work for the SVT.

You're gonna modify where the exhaust connects to the flex pipe. The SVT piping is a bit bigger I believe.

see this is why I ask on here, cuz you all know more about the car then i do. i can do the easy crap like changing tires, battery, oil, fluids, ect. little easy things. lol I'm not a supermechanic like most of you are on here.

You'll learn. The best way to learn is to just dive into things, I use to have a BMW, I took that car apart more times then I can remember. When I started I didn't know a thing about them, when I was done I knew that car inside and out!

I dont have a car that i can really mess with...but the end of july I'll be getting my old car back... its a 95 Sable... so I'll prolly try messing with that car. if i screw it up, no big deal.

Amen. Dive in a touch over your head, you'll learn something out of it. Just know what your limits are so you don't screw something up completely.

And by the way, not all of us are mechanical geniuses. I'm OK with basic maintenance, but not great. Give me some car audio, however, and the OCD comes out.

... and if you do dive in too deep just ask for help. Few of us are pretty good with these cars.

But yes, ZX3 exhaust will fit the svt. You may have to slot the flange on the new side slightly. Bench vise and drill bit will work.

Here is where it may have to be slotted:
