Which would you buy? - Focaljet

**LathairianZx3** · 07-11-2002, 02:08 AM

If you had to choose between these cat backs which would it be? HKS, Bosal, or Apex'i, and plz give reason for choosing.

**FocusOnMyZeTec** · 07-11-2002, 02:19 AM

HKS, love the tone and performance! My buddy has this on his focus with just a cool flo and cam gears and got 125whp and 124ft lbs tq or very around there! it sounds clean though. I dont like the way it hangs low, but if jon aka fastrax turbo has it with his 3" drop with kit you should be fine.

**Focaltech01** · 07-11-2002, 02:37 AM

Did you say that with an HKS exhaust, cool flo intake and cam gears you got 125whp and 124wtq. Could you scan this dyno sheet and post it please, I am curious to see it.

**FocusOnMyZeTec** · 07-11-2002, 02:50 AM

thats what HE got my buddies focus with the HKS. Ill ask him for it if not maybe Focussport still has it on there computer where they did the dyno.

You know MY answer, and you've read MY reasons a dozen times... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I dynoed at 125whp and 133 ft.lbs. with just Cam gears not tunned, and 99% sure not at TDC, AF/X UDP, ported TB and custom intake. Everything else is STOCK!! [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Have Dyno sheet at home!! My car is a monster! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

That is after taking the Turbo OFF, maybe it gave it some permanent extra performance! haha

that still cracks me up, it's so weird!!! Maybe you could put the turbo on my car and then just take it off...I could use a few extra free ponies, lol [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

APEXi [img]graemlins/thumbup.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbup.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbup.gif[/img]

**iamgod** · 11-15-2002, 04:59 PM

i have the magnaflo...nice deep mello tone, fairly quiet, quality looks and construction, excellent performance, and ease of installation. i say keep it in mind.

**Focuz 3** · 11-15-2002, 06:48 PM

Magnaflo [img]graemlins/thumbup.gif[/img]

**tzx3** · 11-15-2002, 07:21 PM

I thought the Magnaflow was loud, I'm in sales and in my car all day. I'm looking for something quiet. Any suggestions??

**Benny** · 11-15-2002, 08:02 PM

Ditto on the MagnaFlow. It was slightly louder than the Borla and a lot quieter than the Flowmaster. I like my MagnaFlow.
If I had to pick between your choices I would go with Bosal.
