I was wondering if anyone had a simple way to bypass the cat on my escort. the style it is the cat kinda bends around the oil pan. if u can help either write back here or email me at emerick.mike@yahoo.com and in subject write ford forums. thank you mike

unfortunateely bypassing the cat will probably cause more problems then it solves like the check engine light will always be on.

no it wont i'll tap into the pipe for the o2 senson. i just need an easy way to bypass it or a cheap part to put in there.

If the cat isnt there there the sensors read a mirror image of each other and it turns on the cel unless you install a simulator to fool the pcm.

an exhaust manifold from the older escort gt with a 1.9 will work, it will eliminate your cat it replaces the manifold and cat, but it will hang a bit lower. You can go over to feoa.net and check it out many people have done this to their scorts ard it can be fairly cheap.
