The car has two mufflers and a resonator

The lunch box was the second muffler leaving these

Sounds good, will try and get a video soon.

Since all I did was cut the lunch box off no hp increase but a good sound. I'm still going to get the fswerks exhaust when it comes out

LOOKS GREAT! Major props man!!! I was seriously considering this myself since the rest looks to be straight through. Was curious though, is that the cat that looks all trapezoid shape? Or don't we need cats anymore because of the variable cams? And the exhaust appears to be stainless from what I can tell too. So besides a half inch in diameter, you're pretty much at a cat back system now eh? Either way looks great! Bet it sounds great too!

Well after mentioning my name, I got inspired and broke out the recording equipment. Took all but an hour. Threw something together in iMovie and my first post to YouTube. Of course the intake noise gets more aggressive with a load out driving. But you get the idea. Yes it is really that bassy in person. Not ricey at all. Very clean and throaty. :)

I don't know how much differnt then a full exhaust would sound since this almost sounds like a full catback already

Do a drive by for us brother! Would you say in person this sounds like the FSWERKS race exhaust or stealth? Just curious about the volume. Does sound SUPER loud. Is it REALLY noticeable while driving? Or only when you get on it?

I'll try and get a drive by tomorrow, while cruising you can barely hear it unless you gun it then it gets louder.

If this is true, I'm even more geeked! No "droning" at highway speeds? Will it wake the neighbors with casual driving? Just trying to be clear before I hack away. ;) I still personally LOVE it!

Good thing it isnt your car [limp]


I knew what I was getting into changing the exhaust on this car since I have done it on two other focus's and GM cars and trucks[8D]

Here is a Picture of my old focus engine bay
