All that stuff's off today... I went by the Stockfish bodyhouse and they told me what everyone here told me anyways about peeling off the decals, etc.
It's going away VERY shortly.
Ken - it's their brand spankin' new 2.5" flex-back system. My FujiCrap POS digicam died AGAIN, so I'll attempt to fire up the Canon digicam and get some footage. And as for the fitment (mpcv2000), I never seem to notice it :D
Gravter - depending on where you are, you may want to volunteer to let them custom-fit an exhaust of your choice to see how SAP is different than non-SAP. I honestly forgot all about that.
Spinal - good man! Yeah, she was on the phone all afternoon while I was there, nevermind the morning I'm sure!

I told them I wanted (the dealship decal) off when I got there to pick up the car when I bought mine. "Oh yeah, no problem" they told me. Got there and it was still on....I stood there and made them take it off before I would take delivery! :lol:

I think I mentioned it (SAP) to Lorraine in one of my emails to her.
It's not only on my ST but on alot of ZX3 & 5's.
BTW, I also would like to hear a sound clip whenever you can put one together ;)
As others have mentioned before, it will get a tad louder as it ages.

Here's the bottom line, fellas - is the SAP rear skirt shorter than stock or not? If it's shorter, you'llwant to take a bit off the rear-most section of pipe. If it's longer... that's a different story.
As it stands right now, the cat-back leaves quite a bit on the Duratec past the cutout for the exhaust. You really could cut a few inches off to "stealth" the system.
I figure it'll fit a SAP Focus just fine.
As for the sound clip, that'll have to wait until tonight at the very least.

Just thinking logically for a moment (yeah, I know ... it's Ford) but it doesn't make sense that Ford would design the SAP to require a different exhaust than non-SAP models ... so I'll bet that the exhaust is identical to all other Foci and therefore the same MBRP should fit.
And it's the same for the wagon tip too ... sticks out right to the full extent of the bumper ... in hindsight I wish I had them shorten it by an inch or two.

I just had my MBRP installed on Wednesday on my 2000 ZX3. Hears what I think. The main reason I bought this was the price, as parts of my exhaust were falling apart I decided to do it all.
Pros: price
low end noise, after 4000 All I hear is my intake. Does it get louder as it gets
worked in? I do wish it was a little louder at WOT
cons: the fat tip, why can't it be just 2.5in straight out
It does look like it's an inch or so too long
I just can't get over the price.

It'll get a little louder as it warms up, but yeah above 5000 RPMs all I hear is the motor for the most part. Well, on the old car and first Duratec setup anyways :lol: now I have ZERO problems hearing the exhaust!
You don't like the tip? To each their own, then :) I rather like it... it's large enough to "look" like a performance exhaust without looking ricey (in my mind).
EDIT - ARGH! I just went to go for a drive and I forgot the car was at the glass place getting tinted! DOH!
I really wanted to go for a drive, too :(

Hey Adam, the pics look great!! Glad to hear you were grinning all the way home! It'll be a few weeks before we go into full production on these. We'll be letting everyone know as soon as they're ready to ship. The 2.25" system is still in full production.......
If any of the members are close to Huntsville, drop by and see us!!

Order it, have it shipped to you, and have a local shop install it. I had it shipped to my place (south of Ottawa) for $40, and then had my local mechanic install it in half an hour.
