No, sir; I haven't. But it says, "JDM N1 00-05 Ford focus 2.0L ZX3 catback exhaust ZX5"

JDM? ...and it's $100. I'd pass.

FocusSport's Stealth exhaust system is a much better choice, imho; it's 2.25" (ideal for a street 2.0) and it has better mufflers. The mufflers are a perforated-core design and not louvred-core like the "glasspak" mufflers used in the first muffler location. Perf-core mufflers flow far better than do the louvred-core units.

Yeah I was thinking that something there doesn't sounds right. I am just trying to figure out what I am going to do with my exhaust.

but it will give you 15hp! lol

Yeah hommie, you get what you pay for. I have the focus sport exhaust and absolutely love it. Sounds great too. I say depending on how into the whole moding thing you are to get a real good set up. Personally i'm obsessed, and pretty much go to work simply to make money for my car, so i always end up going the expensive route

Word, JDM for 100 bucks. My guess is that it wont fit, it WILL leak and its overall junk. If I were you I'd get an FS Stealth exhaust.

I am kind of hoping FS will come out with there 2.5" kit

**mattc123** · 10-01-2008, 08:40 AM

will they throw in a jdm ashtray with the purchase?

**hommie** · 10-01-2008, 09:24 AM
