I'm still looking into the possibility of having a complete stainless steel cat fitted. I've seen sports cats advertised which state they fit an Escort but are also universal but I'm also wondering if it would cost much to have some pipework and flanges made up, again from stainless steel and have them welded to the universal sports cat or maybe have one piece of long tubing coming from the cat which acts as the middle pipe as well. I've seen just a stainless steel decat pipe but I think its silly money at £97 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2911117377...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I've also come across this but not sure if its stainless steel even after sending a message http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3510219136...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I know it seems like I'm dragging this out but after considering whether to keep the Escort or not, the car means a lot to me so if I'm going to do something to it, I want to try and explore every option and get the best I can available instead of just getting an off the shelf part from a car parts superstore. If that means taking my time then so be it. Thanks again.

I would stay away from them exhaust if I was you

As said above, get the Magnex and mate it to the standard Ford Cat. You won't see many gains with the 1.6 so no point getting a sports cat.

If you can't fit it yourself, pay a garage to fit it - job done

Infinity are too expensive, more than double what I was quoted elsewhere for just the middle pipe which i would rather have than a full system and I'm not looking for performance, just a long lasting part.

Does anyone know how big the catalytic converter is in terms of length and inlet and outlet size for the pipes only I may have found a stainless steel one which is 16" long with the pipes being 2.5" wide. When welding, do the two ends of piping need to be the same width or thickness etc or is it OK if one slides over the other then welded? Also forgot about the lambda / hego sensor. Does this have to be fitted in order for it pass emissions and if there is no connector on the catalytic converter itself, could it be modified anyway to connect it? Cheers.
