It's all the same so far as engines go and pipe lengths.
You could do just fine with a 2.25" exhaust (cat-back or flex-back), but some have said they've gained a few more ponies with the 2.5".
No, the flex that runs down off the manicat to where it bolts to the 2nd cat stays. The stock flex is just fine for that purpose, even when adding the 2.5" exhaust.
I've been posting on FF and FJ, helping them out where I can. If they get this right (which I think they will), they'll have the best Focus exhaust solutions out there - cat-maintain and cat-delete systems in 2.25", 2.5" and possibly special-order 3" systems.
The Duratec isn't going away in the Focus (not yet, anyways), so even the fugly 2008 series will have some neat options. I have a feeling more than a few Ricer Nation... I mean Civic Nation folks who are disenfranchised with the lack of torque may come over when the coupe is launched.
Here's hoping they make a ST version for the new owners!
