Stainless Works Cat-Back Exhaust System | 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST (FC13CB)

I am absolutely in love! I've had the exhaust installed for 6 months now and I couldn't be happier. I currently have it paired with a catted downpipe and the sound is deeper and more gurgly (sure, that's a word....) than other brands on the market, which is exactly how I had hoped for. There is 0 drone with this setup and it was oddly quieter than I expected when at cruising speeds on the highway. When I was searching for an exhaust I wanted something different from the norm, and this setup definitely fit the bill. Stainless Works as a company has been nothing short of a pleasure to work with as well. They asked for some feedback on the exhaust and sent me a swag bag in return for using a clip of my exhaust on their social media. It seems like they are always trying to take their experience with v8 exhausts and apply them to the tuner community.

As far as the fitment and install, it was exactly as expected with no real issues at all. The biggest pain for the Focus ST was having to chop the stock up to weave it through the subframe, but there aren't any other real options. There was an extra hanger on the exhaust, which I can only guess was needed for the pre-facelift STs? Either way, I chose to zip it off with a cutoff wheel to give me a little more room to work with while under the car. I just ordered a catless downpipe as well, so we will see how much the sound changes when that arrives in the mail.
