I would go for a mongoose exhaust my friend, ive had them on many differant fords and they fit and sound great without being too load.
The quality is great too, as with everything its opinion and im sure others will disagree.
As its not a turbo engine ya not gunna get much bigger pipes as std 170 is fords sport exhaust, but ya can get better sound and bigger tail pipe.
Good luck.

yes, but i don´t want to go to a smaller diameter. i am not buying an exhaust of getting horespower. i would only have sound and no performance loss.
i like the sound of the blueflame a lot and the price is also good.

i would get the blueflame for around 500 and the mognoose for around 700.
i have heard that the blueflame is the same like the mognoose (blueflame produce for mognoose) . is it true ?

Yes ive heard that too, also i understand what you mean. Both have good sound, but price is better on the blue flame.
Dont think you will get a bigger pipe unless its a special made item then it will be more money.
The std st170 is bigger than a normal 2.0 L focus so thats why the blue flame is not any bigger, im sure it will sound good and if you fit a sports cat or evan decat pipe then ya get better performance too.

Mongoose branded exhausts used to be made at blueflame in Skelmersdale. That changed a while ago.

I'd go for a Blueflame if I were you. Stop worrying over 1mm

Thats 0.5mm at the top and 0.5mm at the bottom

The different design of the box and the internals used will make it flow better than standard so what your worrying about is nothing.

the stock st170 exhaust is pretty well (performance) designed.
