Hi Foci warriors,
We bought our daughter a 2003 Focus ZX5/5spd a few years ago, I love driving that thing. Recently it has developed a rust hole in the muffler. I looked at the resonator section and it is not looking all that healthy either. Now the hard part...
I know there are a pile of sound mongers who campaign against loud exhaust, I got your platform...understood. BUT, having said that...we began to like the slightly louder tone of the exhaust. By no means is it loud, but just a bit throatier is all. This brings us back the post title.
I have the replacement muffler and long pipe, and am now looking for the resonator section. The prices are around $100 for a run of the mill type section. I looked and looked to find a resonator that may give a bit more base tone to the exhaust and could only find the Sound FX 18940. I am sure it will be much quieter than what we have now, but it is the only "bolt on...or clamp on" part I can find that may have a different note. I see lots of aftermarket "weld on" stuff, but I don't weld and am looking to keep the costs down and do it all myself.
Final blurb, I promise....Can anyone tell me if the Sound FX 18940 will fit a ZX5/3? I look at one site and it says no, I look at another and it says yes. I am looking for someone to let me know if they have tried it on their ZX5/3. Not to sound like a dork, but I am not looking for someone to search the part on the web and tell me what that particular site tells them...been there...done that. Anyone with hands on experience with this part number on their ZX5/3?
