As for the people who are complaining about piping size. I dunno about you but it dyno's up with the other catbacks out there. quality is top notch. for it going under the rear axle, i've had no problem with scraping it and im dumped at least 3 inches all around. for looks, to each their own. you can knock on that if you wish but as for performance and scraping issues, do your research before you knock on a good exhaust.

Oh TRUST me I've done ALOT of research on this buddy......

i think the major concerns (dislikes) fall under two catagories:

aesthetics:
*The exhaust does not look like it is designed for the focus--it doesn't even look like it fits
*not only does the whole muffler sit cockeyed and exposed, the exhaust tip is big enough to fist

function:
*The exhaust sits lower than others...some claim scraping, others say it's not a problem
*Being a smaller diameter tubing, you can't even have the possibility of FI in the future
*HKS, even though more expensive than (SS) Borla, is made of the same material as the cheapest of catback systems and will rust eventually

Exactly!

I'm happy with my stock exhaust, well except for the guzzle guzzle pop pop.

Unless your going FI most of the aftermarket exhausts make only 3-6whp at best. So where is the mythological HKS dyno sheet at

And that slanted off to one side muffler is FUGLY

and everytime I look at an HKS exhaust, I expect a midget dressed in a red/white/blue jumpsuit and a helmet to come shooting out in a plume of smoke, perform a series of mid-air somersaults, and land in the middle of the road with a "SuperStar" pose

best quote ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

people have different tastes....so if somebody likes the HKS exhaust dont make fun of them. I have flame graphics on my car and most of you would make fun of me, but i like them. so dont bash people for their different tastes
