Decided My Mods.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
I've got my eye on a shorty header and 65mm throttle body, we'll see how what happens.
As for exhaust, where can one buy the truebendz flex pipe??
I don't plan on changing my magnaflow catback anytime soon, but a new flex and high flow cat would go real nice with a header. :)

don't forget some of those shorty headers come without the downpipe(that deletes your stock cat), without that downpipe shorty header will destroy your stock cat eventually unless you don't care

Paulicat what year is your focus?

It just so happens that I have a 65mm TB(2000-2002.5) and a Hedman Shorty header in my garage for a focus I don't own anymore. Let me know if you're interested.

UGH, 03. With the new style throttle body.
The 03 is unfortunately quite a bit harder to find because 04 they were already rolling out duratecs.
But, I'd be interested in the header if anyone can explain what NikiterZTS was saying earlier about it killing my cat...

Here's what the 03 one looks like for reference, note the allow where the cables connect:

basicly this is what you want for your exhaust manifold set up:

this type of header that you personaly want
http://www.trubendz.com/home.asp

and this downpipe that deletes stock cat...as you can see it has a short resonator in it
http://memimage.cardomain.com//member_imag...39_117_full.jpg

after that it goes into flex pipe

thats pretty much it

Really!?
Seems I might need to make some connections.

Got the short throw shifter in last night. Thanks NikiterZTS. ;)
Shifts a lot firmer now. Really nice feel.

That would be REALLY awesome, however, I would totally understand if you couldn't do it. Priorities are priorities.
All I can ask is you do what you can!
Congrats Flofocus on your sale, but that means back to plan A for the body changes for me!

200whp were my goals when I started all this.
I've read a few dynos of 10# prochargers on stock zx3's getting 209whp so I'm hoping I can get to 200.
I have some upgrades in mind for next summer if I don't hit those numbers this year though.
