![[Image: icon_smile_idea.gif]](http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile_idea.gif) ugh...
Lets say that -12 degrees celcus (10 degrees f) is no time to attempt a lunch box muffler delete... trust me.
But i did it anyways ![[Image: icon_smile_wrenchin.gif]](http://www.focusfanatics.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile_wrenchin.gif) ...
But it didn't go smoothly... first, I swear people Said the pipe size on the foci is 1.75".... So i went and picked up the pipe i needed and went back home and started. got the "Lunchbox muffler" off and guess what...
1.75" exhaust pipe doesn't fit... So i have to drive back down to Crappy tire to get more pipe... this time i took a piece with me...
Turns out the exhaust dia. on my Foci is @" even...not 1 7/8"... not 1 3/4" but 2" on the nose...
so i got back home, cut and welded up the and BOO YA!

Oh ya and 3 cups of coffee to warn the hell back up.

That's what the first tip I bought should have looked like on my Focus, but I let my dad install it for me over the stock muffler tip. I only find this out after he finished of course and end up with the tip stick out at least a foot behind me (Made backing up an adventure lemme tell ya <_< )
Which is why I let him nowhere near the MBRP except to listen to it as I pull away :D

Sounds like you're almost as crazy as me last saturday, ripping the hydraulics out of the lowrider and taking the front clip off, the heater bit the big one in the shop and it was a blistery -8. We lasted about five hrs when I finally asked Kerry if he could feel his hands anymore. He just shook his head. I couldn't feel my feet, so we said enough's enough and went to the gym and sat in the hot tub :D
Looks like sched 40 pipe that you used, am I right or is there just a thick lip at the end?
Looks good for a rush/I'm freezing to death kind of job though.

No the back hanger isn't hooked... theres a hanger mounted just outta shot, but i'm gonna weld a hanger to utilizes the stock mount by the tip... also remember with all the weight of the "lunchbox" gone... the other hanger keeps it tight.

now that i did one... all i'd have to do is copy the pipe... then all you do is cut off the lunch box and clamp this on...

Right now i've found the two best burgers in moncton are
"the Burger that Ate Moncton" at the barnyard BBQ (seriously that the name and its huge... It has marinated peices of pork at topping.... mmmmmmmmmmm
But the best homemade style cheese burger... i would say is the burger at the new "don Cherry's".... i normally get the Tex/mex cheese burger with extra Jalapeno peppers

Is that all stock exhaust at 2"?
I'm surprised that it would be only a 1/4" less than the MBRP exhaust.

Yep, the MBRP for the Zetec is 2.25", the SVT is 2.5"...it all has to do with retaining a certain amount of backpressure...

trust me not only was i shocked to find out the stock zetec pipe is 2"... but i was pissed, cause still to this day i see people on FF saying the exhaust dia is 1.75".
Would have saved me a trip if people wouldn't post hearsay.... but then i guess it wouldn't be the internet then would it... :D
Actually....
Wouldn't it be Seetype.... :P
