I think Steve could get you a Borla center exit exhaust for you.

is borla the only option? I couldn't find a center exit on google.

What about magnaflow, saleen, etc?

I believe Borla was the only company who made them, and I don't think they are in production anymore.

Never say never...

Have Steve check first. Otherwise, there's this (IIRC this was the street price before they were discontinued):

You will also need either the later model SAP rear diffuser (I believe it works with it) or the FR diffuser for this cat back. I know Steve can hook you up with one of these at a much better price. Otherwise, there's this:

It says that one is for the Duratec, what's the difference between the Duratec and Zetec systems?

Not fit wise. IIRC Ford changed the muffler shape to fit the D-tech's gas tank. While the muffler is a different one, it still fits the Zetec, so the kit fits both.

A Duratec system is a direct swap to a Zetec or SVT but going the other way requires some modification.

Sweet. I'll be waiting for tax returns to pick up the system, and a bunch of other stuff for the car. Should be getting mine hopefully early February.

Any ground clearance issues on these? Any ill effects?

No ground clearance problems at all. It give's it little different tone to the exhaust over the standard Borla.

Are the center exit Duratec exhausts 2.25" or 2.5"?
