1LikesHad a chance to get some before and after sound clips on a 2012 Ford Focus.
First video is the stock exhaust while the second video is our 2.5" stealth exhaust...
Thanks,
Vik

Re: FSWERKS 2.5" Stealth Exhaust Sound Clip
Wow, what a difference.
Out of curiosity, how much louder in person is the Race vs. the Stealth? I'm considering getting the Race exhaust but don't want to pile on 'fix-it' tickets.

Re: FSWERKS 2.5" Stealth Exhaust Sound Clip
It's noticeably louder, personally I prefer the stealth as its a little quiter while still sounding great. There's a video of the race somewhere, I'll find it and link it here...

I'm considering getting the Race exhaust but don't want to pile on 'fix-it' tickets.
In my experience, the Stealth system is the way to go for a performance-oriented road car. I've had a Stealth attached to my 2.3 Duratec for over 7 years and over 80,000 miles and it's not even close to being blown out. I attribute that to the quality of the parts and tubing FSWerks chooses to use.
It's tone is perfect, and it's quiet enough in the cabin with little throttle so that you can hear yer tunes, but just loud enough when tipping into the gas to put a smile on your face without making the local constibulary drop their donuts to start their cruisers.

Re: FSWERKS 2.5" Stealth Exhaust Sound Clip
Daaaayum. That sound reminds me of a WRX/STi's boxer exhaust note. Thanks for showing me! Can't wait to slap one of those on my hatch.

Re: FSWERKS 2.5" Stealth Exhaust Sound Clip
Do you think you guys could possibly get a clip with the Stealth Exhaust and the CAI?

I can take a video of mine when I get home. I have the Stealth Exhaust and Intake.

That sounds WICKED. Not dissimilar from the MBRP on my '00, and I LOVE that note.

Re: FSWERKS 2.5" Stealth Exhaust Sound Clip
Wow that sounds good. I didn't have the spare money to get the intake like I had planned, so it's going to be even longer before I can justify the cost of the exhaust (which will come after the intake).

Re: FSWERKS 2.5" Stealth Exhaust Sound Clip
Here is a quick clip that I took earlier today driving home. It was taken from inside my car with my phone so the quality isn't amazing.2008 Vista Blue SES 4dr - F2 Header and exhaust, Steeda CAI, 3dCarbon Body Kit (SOLD)
