Default Focus st exhaust fit a t5 c30?

HI all. I've bought a 59 plate t5 c30 in black and trying to find a nice sporty exhaust for but can't find much. I've heard that the st225 ones fit but the tips need put closer together
Thanks

I'd recommend Jetex and fits properly with no modification:

https://www.jetex.co.uk/performance-exhausts/

I had a Jetex on my S40 T5 and loved it. Deep growl but no drone when cruising.
I researched my purchase for along time before buying and had the Jetex on the T5 for a good 9yrs. The Jetex looks to be identical in almost every way to the Ferrita and the EuroSport Tuning (EST) system sold in the USA. I listened to video clips on the internet of each of those and they all sound identical as well.

A guy from EST confirmed, however, that the Jetex, EST and BSR exhausts are all the same made in Sweden and Ferrita do manufacture their own. See discussion here.

Personally, I felt an ever-so-slight improvement in performance but it could be subjective. At the end of the day I doubt many cat-back exhausts give you a whole tin of beans of improvement.

I'd go for a 3" JT Tuning personally or Feritta system if you've got the cash.

The Jetex systems are slightly fancier 'off the shelf' units from what I've read before and other than sound you won't notice much difference in flow.
