Looking for some suggestions on decently priced well sounding exhaust package and when I mean "well sounding" I mean when I drive by some dude the sound from the exhaust system is so awesome that his head explodes because it is in fact... that awesome.

It's not the greatest video ever, but it gives you a rough idea of how a 2.25" MBRP cat-back sounds inside the Focus. Outside, it's deep, not ricey and easy to live with.
EDIT - holy crap that's a huge clickable image! Thank you Photobucket!

I have a clip of the MBRP on my auto Duratec, it's 27MB though (I don't have access to the DiVx converter anymore :() If you want it, catch me on MSN
EDIT found a converter that took it down to 12MB but its a QT file now

So say when you got your header could you have just bolted on to the cat with it?

if u want your stock cat on then buy a bulls*** shorty header that will give a lil difference in power
it bolts just like the stock manifold does its just a lil bigger

Well I really don't care about the cat, the problem is I guess I would have to get a flex pipe, and did it line up with your MBRP cat back system?
