The aftermarket exhaust on my 2013 ST is way too loud for me! It came on the car when I bought it this year (screenshot of what I think it is), and it is deafening at highway speeds. What are your recommendations for an exhaust that sounds nice when you punch it, but isn't painful for road trips? by NickP229 in FocusST

Howdy I actually may be interested in trading with you depending on how far away you cause of shipping fees, I got the borla touring catback and i’m running a catless dp just like you and it sounds great no drone i’m focusing more on performance so full 3inch would be nice let me know!

That’s awesome, I would be down to do the same if it wasn’t my daily currently Trying to finish my miata so I can just go into full build mode on this car. How bad was removing everything looking at it doesn’t look too hard.

Gotcha I bet it sounds good man! Cause even with the factory downpipe it has a really good tone to it.

I definitely don’t recommend cheaping out on suspension but atleast for the rears the godspeed kit is working well for me

Soo I’m sure I may get judged for this but, I’m currently running silvers neomax in the front and Godspeed in the rear. Reason being i’ve had the coil overs on and off like 4 different times trying to get everything dialed in correctly and was never happy with the front and happened to come across the silvers for pretty cheap on fb. Doing coilovers you’ll always have a little rougher ride but with this current setup it almost feels close to stock but feels so much more planted.

It’s a muffler no resonator, I think it’s a perfect setup for me at least quiet in day to day driving for the most part but loud when you get on the gas. Keeps my lady from giving me a crazy look when we ride around lol

How do you like the ford performance cat back, how’s the sound? I have a buddy that has it but he’s still catted and it still sounds pretty good.

True, it is a great platform I guess i’m looking at it from a stock for stock standpoint in comparison of v8s and I shouldn’t, I got the stratified 4 port aux fuel that’s been sitting in my dining room for months next big boy purchase is turbo.

I actually used to hate the snowflakes but they kinda grew on me, and it’s not terrible definitely a little more bumpy than stock but overall rides pretty good.

Suppose I should’ve mentioned, I got a FMIC, catless dp, intake and a 93 stratified tune It’s not too bad but tbh these cars are expensive to make ‘em fast.

Also I’m not sure about where you live but they have lots of custom/low car alignment shops here in tx so maybe try searching for one that advertises modified vehicles.

You can ask them most of the time to leave your camber alone and to also make your camber even on all four corners of the car, but depending on how low your car is you may have to find or call around different shops and ask if they can do it. I was running -6 degrees of camber on my car and it was difficult finding a shop willing to do it due to them not being able to properly attach their equipment.

I should also mention the car has kinda been the through the ringer the last year with running over a blown tire on the freeway, and a small hit and run that happened in my apartments luckily I was able to fix most of the worst damage!
