Default Focus ST3 exhaust Upgrade

Hi

Thinking of upgrading my exhaust on the ST. I have seen this and wonder if others have fitted it and wonder if sounds ok? Dont want it sounding too loud etc.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MONGOOSE-S-STE...item35aefdf9b6

Anyone else done theres and which one they would recomend?

Cheers J

I've got a milltek resonated system on mine, it is a really well made bit of kit, welds are superb. It isn't any louder than standard apart from when you have your foot on the floorboards when it makes a nice rumble. Other than that it is totally quiet.

I got it off the wife for xmas, pretty sure she got it from SCC.

They're 4" slashed rolled inwards, just like the standard pipes but a bit bigger!

i carnt talk about the st as i have mk2 1.6 but i have miltek on mine
i like it, was a little to quite for me but changed bumper to st and i had to take the tail pipe off and a really like how it sounds now hopefully it will keep the same tone when i get the 4" tail pipes made

although its anoying me at the moment as its making the heat shield rattle

also for you as far as i no it can be bought in resonated and non resonated
