Hi, I recently purchased a 2012 focus se hatch which I'm already falling in love with. I downsized from a highly modded cobalt ss/tc and I'm looking to put a few mods so its not such a drastic step in performance. I do love the quality that these cars are built with and hope it lasts me many years. Now on to the questions. I was researching and found that ford racing makes lowering springs and exhaust but they are both more pricey then the competitors (obviously) and was curious as to what are other options as far as exhaust, springs, and a cai (if one has been manufactured yet). i figured this would be the best site to find the answers I've been having.
A few questions

And being the first with the intake also means that you will have to take it to the dyno and post numbers. We will need stock baseline, then each individual mod, all run on different octane levels.
After that, someone will inevitably start an argument about something. Don't worry about interjecting, someone will have your back and cover your side. This, this is how we discuss.
Seriously, though, I'm interested in seeing the Type R installed. Sounds like you are about to turn a fun little ride![thumb]

I know in power it is but I was refering to the whole package. The looks and feel. The class.
Hell the cobalt looks like a cavalier.

To each their own, I liked the delta bodies that GM made be it the cobalt, ion, or g5. I personally owned a Ion for over two years and had no issues with the car.
And please don't make this into a ford vs GM debate I will stop it before it begins

I think the Cobalt is a pretty good lookin car. And the SS is a beast.
Back on topic... A few more questions myself...
Do we have a list kicking around of the approximate power and torque gains from these mods?
What kind of power are people getting out of the wider exhausts? And how much $ are we talking, both for parts and installation?
Thanks guys.
