I just wanted to give you guys a quick update. Thanks to all the positive feed back and support from this forum I am being given the green light to start the prototyping process for an exhaust system for the Focus ST. I do not have a timeline for you guy as of right now, but I will do my best to keep you all updated with any new information I can share. Thanks again for all the feed back and support.
Some feedback I received from greddy was they have started developing a cat-back exhaust system for the Focus ST and hope to be able to release a finished product by the end of the year.
That gurgle pop sound (Subbies) is not from the catback exhaust....
It's from the boxer engine configuration with an unequal length turbo manifold.
If you switch to an equal length manifold, that noise is minimal...so I can tell you now, it won't sound like that for our cars....as our cars utilize a single port turbo manifold.
I personally love the way our cars sound w/ a cbe. That subbie gurgle pop is annoying imo. The cops love it though.
Lol.....wrong gurgle/growl/pop sound. The Subbies sound way different then that.
The Borla, catless sounds similar to an SRT4.
Look at Borlas exhaust set up compared to others.... 2.5" piping. ..No resonator. ..and a muffler. Run it catless downpipe - Sound achieved.
This can be said for probably any other exhaust system that is run catless WITHOUT a resonator and just a muffler.
I'm running the mbrp (3") with the mbrp catless downpipe and my car doesn't sound like that..... most likely do to the fact mbrp uses a muffler and a resonator in there exhaust system. If I were to remove the resonator only, my exhaust system would sound like that gurgling pop sound and be loud.
Like I first said, different sound on the subbies.
LOL at thinking we will get "Subbie" sound from a CBE. Subaru's sound nasty and in my opinion. With the right exhaust setup, mine never got annoying. I love my old Legacy GT's sound effects. I also had a custom built, 40-off CBE from Stromung (+catless downpipe).
If we had a real exhaust manifold, I can 110% guarantee there would be an unequal length header already made for our cars to achieve DAT SUBBIE SOUND, BRO. Our cars sound good in their own way with the right setup (Borla, OCD+Chambered muffler, to mention).
i think alot of this subbie sound discussion is from my comment, and thats not what I was getting at. I just think greddy could come up with an exhaust that was similar to the borla and I guess how I described it made it seem like i love the sti sound..
You can tell it is not available yet though. This exhaust will probably happen, since there is a part # for it on Greddy's site. Just seems like it might take a while.
I know its been a while since I have been on here, but I wanted to give you guys a quick update. First off I would like to apologize for how long it is taking to get this program rolling. I was hoping to have an exhaust for you all at this point , but I hope to be working on the new exhaust system by the end of next month or early March. Please bare with me as I try to get a physical sample put together. I will keep you all updated as I go.
I got tired of waiting and went with Milltek instead. Still interested in the sound of this one though.
