As some of you may know I went to MBRP in Huntsville (20 minutes from the cottage FTW) and bought the last 3 remaining Focus exhausts in existence.
I even had to go to the Burl's Creek Auto Flea Market to pick one of them up and that was insane - just as an aside we should organize a trip up there next spring or fall (they do 2 a year) - it was simply amazing.
Anyway ... my plan right now is to keep one for myself and sell the other 2. There's a guy on Focusfanatics who wants one, but frankly it's a bit of a pain to sell and ship into the US, so if I can sell them here first, that would be my preference.
For those of you who don't know about MBRP - they are a Canadian company and by all accounts (including my own experience on 3 former Foci) they made the best cat-back ever for the Focus - there are lots of sound clips on youtube and probably more than a few cars on here have them.
This exhaust compares favourably to the magnaflow 15697 (never lower than $400 before taxes) and the FSWerks stealth exhaust at $449 (before shipping + taxes)
The model that I have is S4040 which is ostensibly for the sedan ... for the wagon the tailpipe needs to be lengthened a few inches, and for the hatch the tailpipe needs to be shortened a few inches ... both of these jobs are a few minutes at the most by any competent shop. I can refer you to my guy at Speedy here in Brampton if you need installation.
A special offer to FC.net members exclusively for the time being:
MBRP S4040 ........................................... $270 + HST *
* exhausts bought and paid for by Sunday the 25th will come with a Ford Motorcraft oil filter and a 1.25 gallon jug of Ford Motorcraft Synthetic Blend 5w-20 oil at no extra charge.
