Okay, So my first mod on my focus was an original focus sport 2.25" stealth exhaust from GFXJamie (how we met...good ol kijiji haha). So now im thinking of upgrading from the downpipe all the way back. cuz mines looking pretty ratty and mangled now.

So what size do you think i should go? no less than 2.5" for sure, or should I goto 3". I know lots of people talk about back pressure and whatnot...but is the idea behind an exhaust for performance to make it as free flowing as possible???

Also keep in mind Im running a zetec so im not putting out crazy power, hence why im also not sure if a 3" would really do much for me. Any suggestions!

If you go turbo, 3" will be fine as you'll get plenty of backpressure, otherwise, don't go any bigger than 2.5".
