catback exhaust
Anyone here changed the exhaust system? Is it as simple as taking out the old one and put the new one in? I was told there is no weilding involve.
My Escape is 2005 and so far I can't find catback for 2005. Does anyone know if it is same as 04 ?

I replaced mine with a Gibson cat-back. The only problem is removing the factory exhaust pipe from the cat. It required much heat and pulling and tristing. I have heard of others using a Dremmel tool to remove a rivet to make it easier.
It's NOT 2005 yet, why did Ford insist on calling the 2004.5's a 2005? Most aftermarket companies wait until there is a market for parts, usually a year after release.

DUH--wrong link. This is the correct one:

Sorry about that.

I ordered the Gibson cat-back for my '05 Escape 3.0L today from the link above. I called them to confirm the fit with the '05. I'll probably have my mechanic install it.

The Gibson exhaust is on and it's very cool...er...HOT! I can definitely feel the extra HP and it seems like my fuel economy is a bit better, too, though I'll know more at my next fillup. It makes a nice low rumble, not too loud.
