New exhaust - Focaljet

**SUPER SONY** · 05-10-2008, 12:06 PM

I have a couple questions about an exhaust. I have $300 to spend. I have been looking at the MBRP for the sedan or the new Massive speed systems cat back. Has any one seen one or heard one in person. Is it all stainless or what? I do not want some thing real load. I konw that if I go with the Massive I will have to extend the pipe four the lenght of the sedan. What about OBX? Please help me deside.

I can't give a direct answer on the two you picked, but I'm sure allot of others can.

I just wanted to let you know that the FS cat-back in sport trim with a Bosal flex (it's the cheapest) has a very agreeable and "sporty" tone. I've heard the stealth option is quieter than that, so it fits with a header better to help keep the whole set-up from being too loud. You just have to kick in a bit more money for the FS cat-back. The Bosal flex is stainless and about $100.

Edit: forgot to say the FS is tunable for length, too. It has one sliding section (u-clamp) instead of all flanges. So it fits all Foci (not sure about wagons).

mbrp is loud, loud and throaty loud. If you want loud, go for it.

fs stealth here and I love it. not too loud but everyone else I know thinks its loud

**Funktacular** · 05-10-2008, 10:31 PM

Mbrp is loud but sounds good imo. Add a header and you start to annoy the neighbors. Haven't heard the obx.

not brands listed but i have an apex-i ws and love it. its quiet to me. from what i understand it was/is one of the more quiet systems made for the focus (and other cars for that matter)

**slverfocus13** · 05-10-2008, 10:52 PM

my friend has a MBRP on his ZTS and it sounds good, he also has a shorty header with a offroad pipe...its not too bad

**OGFocus99** · 05-11-2008, 12:14 PM

There is a stock ST system in the sale section for $75 shipped. With a little modification to the front section, would work really well. The rear section would'nt need any modification.

**SUPER SONY** · 05-11-2008, 12:52 PM

Any one know any thing about the Massive speed systems cat-back? On their web site they have a sound clip and I think it sounds good. Is there any one else that makes a cat-back for the sedan?

**grbrgrnzx5** · 05-11-2008, 01:07 PM

Not listed, but I have a Tsudo kit for my car. Pretty cheap and sounds decent even with my long tube and flexpipe. Not raspy, a little loud, but not ricey either.

FS... also a sponsor. Read above.

Does anyone have a sound clip of the MRBP and FS cat-backs. If i was to go with one that was not made for the sedan, where would I put the extention and how does it look. I don't want to be able to see it when I'm not under the car. Any pics of that.

**zx3freak** · 05-12-2008, 12:02 PM

have you looked at truebendz?

**SUPER SONY** · 05-12-2008, 02:54 PM

No How load are they?

**rollin_loud** · 05-12-2008, 04:00 PM

depends on the muffler you get. they offer magnaflow, flowmaster, and borla muffler options or you could just buy the prebent pipes and add your own muffler if you find one that they dont offer. You can look up sound clips on youtube.
