Well I got around to trying to install my Apex'i world sport from my old zetec on my PZEV. I measured the rear can (since the PZEV gas tank is bigger) and it looks as though it'll fit. But before I even got to that part I encountered a couple problems I didnt expect.
1) Now there's no exhaust gasket
It's a ring that's set into the stock cat back....crappy.
2) There's a big friggen peg in the way! What the hell is that crap! Ford is a bunch of douchebags...GRRR.
Needless to say i'm now going to look for both a gasket and a cutting tool to grind that crap off. Well I guess someone's gotta do it first
Too bad I happen to be the one...
Anyway...here's some pictures to help out...
The strange looking flange:
The horrible peg:
This picture confirms that is actually a second cat. And it also shows the hole where that crap ass peg goes:
Finally the Apex'i and stocker side by side. The stock flexpipe must be around 2.25! It looks like the pipe going into the second cat is almost as big as the 2.4 inch apex'i exhaust. That's cool!
