Got the MP260 upgrade around 1 1/2 years ago and it totally transferred the car. Turned it into a proper quick car, just ordered the exhaust today can't wait to get it fitted now as it sounds class.
Great sound is that just the catback?or did you record that with a down pipe and sports cat on,the reason I ask is because I've just had one fitted to my st,but to me I can't hear any difference from the standard exhaust yet,is this normal when they are new?
I own a 2009 Ford Focus ST3 and am currently looking at the Mountune ST260 package and stainless steel catback exhaust. What upgrades have you put on your Focus? Just the Mountune 260?? It seems over priced for an extra 30bhp? It costs around £1100, What are you thoughts?
It does sound really good, but i've got the Mountune engine upgrades on my ST and still have the standard exhaust and i really don't think this new one sounds £500 (probably more like £650 after fitting the thing) better than the original. And there is a lot more cabin noise making it harder to live with but not that much increase on the outside of the car thus not making it much better. And the great thing about the ST is that most of the sound comes out of the engine any way.

does just the exhaust fitting affect insurance?

Oh, and when i say a lot more cabin noise, i don't mean at cruising speed, but when accelerating, especially uphill, it is head ache inducing!

Have you made any further modifications? The cat-back and ST260 combo is far from head-ache inducing and is one of the most civilised on the market.
Also, Kernahan's of Witney are offering the cat-back for £425 at the moment, £479 fitted! So nothing remotely close to £650.

Sounds great. Are you going to do an upgrade pack for the new focus RS ?
