Let's hear how your car sounds....record a clip (good quality pls) and list what mods you've done.

I'm interested in hearing the mbrp exhaust setup cuz the one on the their website is not that good quality.

Be the change you want to see in this world.

Inside, SPI, 3" K+N filter on the stock intake / MAF tubing.

Sounds much nicer and a tad louder with the Ractive intake we have currently, but you get the idea.

Also, apparently Zetecs sound significantly different than the SPI.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwsome!

This is the closest thing to what I want to do with my focus too. I wanted to hear a volant intake with mbrp cat back. Sounds really good. Not ricey one bit.

Did you also add a 2.25" flexpipe or is it at the stock 1.75" ?


Love your sitenk. Your car is looking focusexy .... where did u get ur KS projector headlights? How long have u had them....im concerned about how long they last (the bulbs).

The side skirts and rear bumper are the same kit? (xenon) and the front bumper is totally separate right? Did they have a xenon front bumper too?

Okay since we are on the topic.....

seeing that i'm in alberta...(ya know the province that gives its citizens 400 clams just to be here) anyhow...the province that doesn't require you to have a catalytic converter....lol..anyhow...was wondering how good, an F2 CAI and an Mbrp exhaust would sound WITHOUT the cataylitic????

any knowers???? (yes i know the word KNOWERS ISN'T A WORD)

Let's see if this works....

This is a vid of my car driving around. I aplogise for the quality, it really does suck. Thats what happens when all you got is a 3.2MP Camera as video duty. :rolleyes:

My setup is Borla exhaust, no cat, 2.5 flex, 2.5 Downpipe.

Its really not 9 minutes...dont know why it did that. :rolleyes:

Yeah, the soundclip they have on their website sounds nothing like the exhaust system at all. My car has an AEM CAI, Stock cat, stock manifold, stock flexpipe, and it sounds mean...it sounds nothing like any of the other Foci or J-Body's around here...it even sounds better than my buddies magnaflow that lives here too...

I'll try and make up a sound clip of the car sometime soon....the MBRP 2nd Gen almost sounds like you have a straight 6 in the car...

The whine courtesy of Jackson Racing, the exhaust Borla.

This is what my car sounded like before installing the SVT header, RT cat, flex upgrade. In the video the car is so much quieter than what it sounds like now.
