Looks like our friends at MBRP are back in the Focus business and in a substantial way.
Kinda surprised I didn't hear about this before now. Product pages on their website look good - includes video, dyno info, flow charts etc etc.

pfft...old news in the ST world :p
They have been selling those since last summer. In fact, I guessed that they would be back when a third party US distributor was looking for a Focus ST owner north of Toronto to test fit a "new" ST exhaust from an unnamed Canadian manufacturer last spring.

Sorry to tell you this, but they at one time did make exhausts for the Mark I and II Focus, but dropped them about 3 years ago. A number of members on here, myself included, talked directly with them about perhaps continuing to make them available on a direct, special order basis - the idea didn't fly.
I bought the last 4 MRBP Focus exhausts in existence and sold them off to members on here.
They probably would make a special run of them if someone ordered enough in a single order.

most of the time it ends up being due to how much they'll make vs how much they'll spend.
Little bit of show, little bit of go.

Yeah that would be Korby (MuskokaZX3) but he hasn't been on here for a couple of months - his wife works there too.
At some point 18 months ago or so, he moved from the MBRP manufacturing plant to their retail parts and service business called "The Garage."

I wonder if theyd make/sell the mufflers and the rest would be DIY?
