focus st 225 exhaust system

marccowley · Oct 21st, 2015, 08:23

Ok, I had an st for a few months before I got my c30 t5, I know the downpipe and cat is interchangeable, but I cant see why the cat back wouldn't be, they looked the same underneath, however the focus which had a mongoose system on it, the back box goes into the middle, however the standard one is the same as the c30 where it goes over the rear subframe.

My question is, other than tailpipe spacing, why wont a focus system fit? Thanks

I had the exhaust upgraded on my S40. The garage had a Miltek one for an ST which they thought could fit but same issue ... they just dont. I think it was further back through the car where the issue was ... no Miltek :-( ended up wit ha Jetex.

Thanks, you can get a milltek for the Volvos now but its nearly 200 quid more than the focus system!

Don't know how much the Milltek is but the Jetex (same as BSR system) is £535. http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/...oducts_id=5822

I have that system and I've been delighted with it.

I keep Ferrita's stainless systems in stock for all these smaller T5s and D5s plus the old Focus ST.

You can find them here on my website: http://kalmar-union.com/parts/volvo-...0c70-exhausts/

The prices include VAT and mainland delivery, there would be a supplement for some highland addresses and NI.

The only difference between any of these is the distance between the tail pipes, they are all the same up to and including the rear box.

I've got a Ferrita system on my V50. I'm very pleased with it.
