Hi . I'm looking for a bit of technical help . I have a 2015 ford focus 1.5tdci and put a diesel st exhaust from dpf back .
Now I have this problem where once I've been driving a bit the exhaust sound changed and sounds like it's blowing but it isn't
Then the sound dissapears and goes back to normal .
I've checked all joints and they seem fine .
Has anyone else come across this at all ?

Possibly your hearing the regen exhaust more since you swapped out the exhaust...

Cheers for that . Would I hear that every time I drive it ? Thought that only happened every time the soot content reached a certain level .

What was it doing before you swapped out the exhaust?

It was fine to be honest. I think I see about the dpf now.
If the back pressure is wrong causing the dpf pressure sensor to think it is blocking I suppose it could be doing a regen to try and bring it down .?

Removed the st rear silencer and put back the original silencer and stopped the problem . All better now .

Possibly should have stepped up to a ST to begin with.........

A turbo diesel focus? I'm kinda jealous, it sounds like a funner car than a normal gasoline focus (minus all the diesel emissions stuff.)

Haha. Probably would have apart from running cost and this car was a steal at the price and mileage.
