Hey everyone!!
well today timmeh showed me the way to an exhaust shop that he recommended highly. I got a 2inch cat back, with resonator and straight through rear muffler with twin upswept stainless tips. sounds EXTREMELY throaty and nice  the car no longer chokes and has more consistent power delivery throughout the entire RPM range. extremely happy, but i realised i left my stocko system therE :| DOH have to go back and get it. very happy, althought they could have put the tips on a little more straight :P but thats only a minor thing!!!! |

It was all done at night, so we'll get some better photos and video during daylight hours.
First up, a quick photo:  I like the way the shop painted the 'unseen' part of the exhaust black. Video is just uploading now, my comp is giving me issues atm, otherwise it would have been up sooner. Tim Last edited by Timmeh; 02-04-2005 at 01:10 AM. Reason: Stupid urls, who needs them anyway |

In person, you can hear a slight difference between the two, most likely just from the difference in engine size. I think both systems sound great, neither are tinny or raspy. The team where I get all my work done really know how to make the Euro Fords sound tough! Tim |

How about getting some alloy wheels for it now? Lowering it will make it really look sweet.

I agree, what is Magma red? its not on the ford website.... so is it a new colour? if so.... it looks nice in the picture.... though that might be the flash or something like that. If its new, damn i want it! What interior does the zetec get with that? the Red?

How much did the exhaust set you back anyhow?
And is anything else removed besides the original exhaust pipes and mufflers? I've never done any exhaust mods and don't know the first thing about em. But when I'm in a position to do so would like to improve my exhaust :hihi: I'm guessing I'll need to save up for it but it's probably one of the first things I'll do and maybe drop it 30 mm |

all up 320 including my two stainless tips.
they changed the piping from the cat back which just means they leave the standard cat converter but replace all the pipe from that back to the muffler. two inch pipe, one resonator and one chambered muffler. |
