Yea I have a chrome breather tank, just need to fit it. Right, I have bought a standard 2.0 Focus Zetec manifold. After 3 times of being let down with manifolds I re-thought my original idea and bought this. It is a 4-1 manifold that will give more torque higher in the rev range (4-2-1 gives more torque low in the rev range, the Zetec is already torquey low down so I want torque throughout the revs). With the bores being identical to the engine I wont have a restrictive exhaust system anymore (That will give me some more BHP). Also to compliment the manifold I have a full exhaust system that was from a race/rally car. It is truely a straight though system with only 1 re-packable silencer (To keep within decibel limit) and side exit exhaust. The side exit should comeout half way between the O/S rear arch and O/S door. *Note* I do not have the manifold shown. Just need to get and modify a Focus downpipe and am ready to fit it on the car. With this fitted I expect say 150bhp and say 180lbs of torque

Love the idea of a side exit exhaust.Take it its ready to be fitted to a mk3.5 fez so u wont have to worry about re-shaping? Like that manifold too,was it expensive?
not to start an argument but i have 3 points
a)just cos i never voted it car of the year doesnt mean i think its anything other than good, i love the car,only dislike the long gearstick b)constructive critisism and opinions make the world go round,if everyone kept theyre mouth shut or just said "i love it" all the time the world would be a boring place c)i say nice things about things i think deserve nice things saying about them,such as the exhaust,the skirts,the seats,basically,the whole car,and there isnt enough praise in the world to give to lawton whos car i voted car of the year

First things first, Make another topic or spam someone elses as I DO NOT want it in my MMC. You didnt have any option of voting it this year as I decided not to enter.
BACK TO TOPIC
Yes the exhuast system is for a Mk3 so is a direct fit. It was originally made by Tony Law, he made that tasty manifold in the pic that I do not have. He makes one off manifolds and in the world of rallying has a very good reputation for the products he does. The Focus manifold was bagged at a bargin price and its only done 15k (May sound alot but there wont be that must carbon inside it, plus a few thousand would have been bedding in miles).
May have some other bits yet, I decided to tell you of these now as they will arrive Mondeo hopefully (Should have been Friday)
