2009 Ford Focus SE Coupe - Exhaust - Resonator Delete

Had the resonator removed on my Focus today. It's the one that was right behind the tail pipe. The setup is now essentially what Ford calls their "sport tuned exhaust", used on the Focus coupes with 5sp manual transmission. You can hear the difference on start up, adds a little grumble. Not as noticeable while in the car...you hear it more when standing behind. Great cheap mod though...only $42!

how much does it cost to have this done?

@Fosg8 I took it to a local exhaust shop and they charged me $40. Not bad at all.

wait wait....if u have an 09+ coupe then shouldnt u already have had that resonator removed from the factory? i have a '10 coupe and i dont have the resonator behind the tailpipe.

@1SirCarlton This one is an auto, only the manual's came with the sport tuned exhaust. :( I would have much rather had the manual.

@focusonthegreen oh yeah i forgot that. yeah the 5 speed is alot of fun. i guess i thought yours is a 5 speed since mine is also silver like yours lol.

@1SirCarlton haha I wish it was! I actually don't have this car anymore sadly. But all they had were auto's when I got it. One manual had sold right before I bought mine.

@focusonthegreen awesome, thanks

you're right about the coupes having the sport exhaust. But the four door sedans do not, however you can pick either auto, or manual transmision for it

@WhenLambsBecomeLions Oh my bad...it was only the 09 coupes with a 5spd...

[focusonthegreen]

@WhenLambsBecomeLions Oh nice! No regrets at all...I actually don't own this car anymore but the exhaust sounded great. I thought the 09's with the 5spd already had the sport exhaust?
