FJ Exhaust Shoot-Out Results! - Page 7 - The Ford Focus Forum

Oh yeah I wasnt hating on the Tsudo, I have them from header to exhaust tip. Other than the tip being bigger than I thought & it rubbing on the rear bumper its been great, luv the sound. When I go under the freeway I rev it like a ricer.

i know i m bring up the old thread but why hate MBRP so much??
2nd gne got resonator built in and honestly, this 2nd gen is not louder than MAGNAFLOW.
As soon as i installed at same place, MAGNAFLOW made noise when my friedn drove out of garage and i noticed..and same place MBRP, i didn;t even know my car was out of garage. and MBRP is getting louder and louder but still not louder than Magnaflow.. proven by my neighbors. and owned each system about 2 yrs each.

Does anybody know if the focus sport exhaust was run with the stealth option or the standard sport option? What is teh difference between the two?

I believe the one in the shootout was the regular sport version.

The difference between the two is really only the sound IIRC. I think they worked it out so that when they add the resonator for the Stealth system it doesn't affect hp or tq numbers at all.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

That's my understanding as well. The Stealth system is about as loud as I really want anyway, but I'm old. Sounds good, but not obnoxiously loud.

Looks like I will be looking into getting an HKS exhaust in the future. I personally want the lowest noise level.

**theyetti** · 06-05-2007, 07:04 PM

what about flowmaster 40 series?
I have a full custom flowmaster 40 series set up on my 2000 zx3 2.5 all the way back.

i still love my HKS hi power

This thread just won't DIE!

Seriously, good info here, but a wee bit outdated in some areas now.

Lock it, but keep it as good basic reference.

**tjys** · 02-15-2009, 10:48 AM

Is there going to be an update to this thread to include systems for the 08/09 Focus?

**Nliiitend1** · 02-15-2009, 05:20 PM

I doubt it.

I think there should probably be an entirely new thread...

How many 08/09 systems are out there so far?

**ghostrider86** · 03-24-2009, 04:44 PM

I would imagine that the OBX exhaust system wasn't available at the time of the shoot out. How would the OBX cat back system compare to the other systems listed in this shoot out?

I have already gathered that the header will do a nice job. Together will they make pretty good WHP for low $$$$.

**focusmaniaczx3** · 04-29-2009, 03:32 AM

time for a re-test? try out the newest systems guys id like to see how they all do now that they have had a few more years to develop the tech!

**evanjfrancis** · 08-05-2009, 01:24 PM

were the decibal readings from the focussport the stealth exhaust, or the race exhaust?

**01 ZX3....Q** · 11-01-2009, 01:56 AM

so now you have narrowed it down to three but which is the overall best for your money on a stock engine?
