Hard, no.

But if I wanted to custom fab my own exhaust and void the warranty on it in the process, it doesn't really make sense, does it?

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against MBRP; They've got good prices and a decent reputation. I was interested enough to call MBRP and ask them about it. I'm disappointed, though; they have the 2.5" for the SVT, and the 2.25" pattern for the sedan. Why they cannot offer a 2.5" for the ST is beyond me. The 2.3L is 15% more displacement than both the 2.0L Duratec AND Zetec; at the same RPM it's trying to get rid of 15% more exhaust gases.

I don't want to fab -- I have access to people with benders and mandrels -- I want something that I can bolt in and have a warranty on. Even if it means I have to pay a bit more.
