I would not recommmend cutting the exhaust a little shorter. Eventually the bumper will start to melt on the nice polished tip.

 

Plus you'll get the black sut from the exhaust

 

i would leave it mine is a borla but it's got a different tip on it. I like your how it is but it's yours in the end.

 

Keep it the way it is...

 

And here I thought you were gonna get a short shifter...

Nah, leave the tip extended. Then you can say to people, "See? My Focus LIKES you!"

 

my mbrp doesnt stick out that much, but if it did id get it cut back

 

looks fine to me, leave it

 

i would cut it back just a little, but not 2 much cuz it will start to burn up the bumper!

 

I would actually have that tip cut off and a completely different tip put on. Mine is completely flush with the bumper "looking from above, you can't even see it" kinda thing and my "bumper hasn't melted onto the tip" yet. That's just silly talk.

 

Please do not cut it. It looks fine the way it is[thumb]

 

Haha, thanks guys. But wow, now I'm getting a little paranoid... bumper melting? I'm starting to get used to it now, after a little driving around, but something about the back still doesn't look completely right.

Anyway it looks like the votes are close to 50/50 on cut or uncut. But it's still early. I'll see what it's like by tomorrow morning and decide by then. If I do get it cut I'll post some picts of the result (for curious minds).

 

Looks perfect man. Its not sticking past the top portion of the bumper, so its all good.

 

Keep it the way it is man.

 

dont worry about it melting the bumper man. mine sticks out like that also, maybe just a lil more, and ive had it on for years and no melting. a pic of how far mine sticks out...

 

Looks good dude! Now debadge her!

 

Sweet ride, man. I guess the more people post pictures with their mufflers sticking out the same way, the more comfortable I feel with mine. LOL! I think I'm just secretly hating the stock rear *cough* bench *cough* bumper, and wish it was an SVT one. I'd rather have it be a little thicker/lower in the back, like maybe with a rear lip/diffuser or something. Oh well I'll get over it and start focusing on performance mods.

I may save the $50 after all and put it towards a dyno tune sometime in the future. Since I drive an automatic I figure a tune will help give my Focus a good kick in the ass. I'm too big of a wuss to go with a CAI (since I've read quite a few hydrolock stories on here). I also need to get some deep scratches fixed up at the edge of my driver door (previous owner banged it up and some of the metal is finally flaking out).

 

get the svt rear bumper it might make it look more the way you want it but other than that it looks fine.

 

If It Aint Broke, Dont Fix It! It Looks Fine!

 

Mine is the same way and i think about cutting it back, but you will get used to it.

 

I'd "snip the tip". Personally, I like the flush look.

 

lmao @ thread name...

leave it the way it is.... it is perfect. [^]

 

looks fine this thread is hilarious

 

NO it's fine... golden rule is: has to be tucked in more than the bumper... which it is. I had the same feeling for mine, when i got it. Then i got used to it because it's doesnt stick out past the bumper... that being said, it will grow on you and you will like it!

Looks great buddy!!

 

I think it looks fine. I say leave it as is.

 

My bumper melted with the focus Sport Tip >.< It does happen

 

I'd leave it, or if you do decide to cut it. just a couple of inches at MOST.
