LOUD Exhaust Install on Focus ST!

Installing a CFM Catless Downpipe on my Ford Focus ST! Order one for your car to get that LOUD :) amzn.to/2NkmPgo // All the tools I referenced you can find here - bit.ly/toolsfro... // These cars get compared to Mazdaspeed3's a lot..but this install alone is worth buying an ST. I remember the catless downpipe install on the speed3 took my dad and I like 8-9 hours... and I got this done in a couple hours alone. Sounds great, makes the car feel so much rawer, builds boost quicker too, and overall just one of the necessary mods! This pipe is good for the 2013,2014,2015,2016,2017, and 2018 Ford Focus ST's

I remember doing this on my ST. i managed to break my C clamp and then desperately drove around my city while straight piped searching for a new one

[@TheQuestionableGarage]

As long as I've had my ST, I've been told never to run a Cobb OTS tune! They blow up motors, according to lots of folks in my local group. I'd recommend looking into a JST or Stratified tune really soon!

[@emersonzumwalt3820]

Wrench Every Day cflrst gang

[@ifixthings86]

It's not the tune that blows motors, it's user error 99% of the time.

[@kemsleygobey2357]

Hey man we running cobb stage 1 ots map with with cobb filter next will run front mount intercooler and stage 2 ots the add downpipe and run stage 3 ots. Will that be fine then after get stratified map or something?

[@ifixthings86]

@@kemsleygobey2357 I think it's better to have a relationship with the tuner while you build. So if you're planning on doing all that, I'd start right after the s1 ots map and filter. The more data the tuner has the better.

[@geoffnelson64]

Jst is a very awesome company. Those guys are good people. I highly recommend them

[@PedalingDave]

Nice job on the video. I have a Greddy exhaust on my ST and it had a nice deep tone. Once I installed the catless DP it totally came alive and was plenty loud. Guess it's been a close to two years and the sound still makes me smile.

[@bacchusthompson5834]

When you asked for suggestions on breaking away rust, Kano Kroil. Comes in a bright orange can. It’s like pb blaster on crack. I work on outdoor rusty elevators and escalators and you can free up the most seized bolts imaginable with a few squirts of that stuff. Highly recommend

[@guitarslayer15]

I had a 16 Focus ST. CFM Catless DP and Borla cat back, plenty of volume and great sound. Screamed at higher RPMs and a nice deep tone at idle. Also had an e30 tune.

[@zkrjay]

U got any vids. I got that borla exhaust trying to find a dp to go with

[@MrRippsalot]

Ups delivered half a evo x to my house so yeah i feel ya with the ups excitement.

[@ransb95]

I just installed the AWE track edition with the stock downpipe and it is really deep, throaty, and LOUD. I know you bought the car with the MBRP already on it but you should really look into AWE exhaust systems, its legit.

[@tomdubois3062]

I have a ford racing catback exhaust, but want a downpipe. I’m scared that it will be too loud. Any suggestions?

[@ransb95]

If anything get a high flow catted downpipe. However most will cost more than a catless one.

[@interceptingfist5682]

How's that drone treating you

[@ransb95]

Agree with the AWE. Installing a depo catless Sunday

I'm currently modding/driving a Focus SE and plan to get myself an ST next summer. So far the SE has been fun to build, but I also want to get myself an ST since it's a just as fun platform to work off of. Just found your videos and so far, they have been a lot of fun and informative to watch. Thanks for posting them. Also, just subscribed. Hoping to learn a bit more. Edit: Had to go back and add to this. Posted while trying to get ready for work and made the post look all broken and caveman like. LOL

I just did a catless downpipe on my abarth. The turbo whistle is crazy on the decel😁

[@cfmperf]

Great install video Cameron! 🍻

[@hiascloud]

I can help with the rattling problem right now because I had the same problem. The heat shielding is loose on the bottom of the car. I had to loosen mine and re tighten / align them because ford had to loosen some bolts to inspect the fuel tank for the recall and didn't put it back correctly 🙄. Threw that boy on ramps in the middle of the night because the sound drove me crazy on the highway. Hope this helps!

[@dham99]

For each one of these mods, you should list your mod list in the description. Which RMM did you have here? I had the CNT Racing 2.5" V2 catback for a while..last year i dropped in the CNT Racing cat-less downpipe (same day i did my CPE lightweight FMIC) and together they sound amazing..resonator/muffler included. I have yet to hear an exhaust on a FoST that sounds similar to mine and i get decent crackles on decel. Currently running the OTS Cobb Stage 3 (93 octane) tune. Its tough deciding on which custom tuner to go with though, JST, Stratified, Pwnall, etc.. Also, did you run a de-fouler? I was told i'd throw codes without one. I couldnt get the one I bought to work, so ran it without..had zero codes or issues since last August (2019). Car still sounds amazing. My only issue was I got vibrations/rattles likea metal on metal rubbing when in high gear at low speeds and i accelerate. But im stock RMM..which will change soon.

[@Chill_Please]

Cameron did you ever take your muffler off or get one out on? I put a depo racing catless downpipe on my ST with a AWE track exhaust and it's horrendous when WOT especially in 2nd gear. I'm debating on just selling the downpipe and getting a catted one or getting a muffler for it. Please help lol

[@coopkink]

DO A RESONATOR DELETE FIRST!!! Then see how you like it. I did it and its perfectly fine for throatiness when pushing but good for highway driving without too much drone

I read in a blog this is the same downpipe as the escape

[@MJC-GSXS750]

The CFM DP for the Mustang ecoboost is much easier to install, there was nothing in the way, so it came out fairly easy. I'm taking it off for the winter tho. Deep creep over PB blaster IMO

[@cameroneagleson9314]

Love your videos man 👌🏼 great content man

[@stevebridgwood]

These Cobb plug in boxes! Then people wonder why the motor goes bang! Get them mapped properly

[@scottgalbreath7790]

Be careful when buying downpipes. A lot of them don't use the best metallurgy. Secondly, most downpipes are not Argon Gas back purged to ensure a strong and long lasting downpipe. I say this because quality comes at a higher price tag. IMPO Daniel Check @ TB Performance Products offers the highest quality downpipe money can buy. 304 stainless steel and TIG welded.

[@DRISS.]

quick question, what´s the purpose of the monitor you have in your windshield??

[@Mikey6048]

Buy "Kroil". Last penetraiting fluid you'll ever buy for breaking bolts and tapping threads.

[@robertbritt3129]

I just removed my totally clogged cats on my exhaust. I got the car at 135k and im at 153k now and probably wouldnt have ruined my stock cats had I not egr delete, and other things that put stress on it and then driving on a blinking engine light for way too long like 1000+ and after maf sensor cleaning and new intake and all that I finally figured out what's making everything dirty up front is the fact that the cat was clogged with oil or whatever at least I hope that's the case my car won't rev over 2.5k now and before this symptom it was just blinking engine light and the car running really ruff mostly and with the problem getting better sometimes when I can rev on the highway and like blow the exhaust clear enough to get more air through making the car sing for a bit and so I know it can run smoothly but just not at idle and I'm hoping the eBay test pipe I got will fix it and I'm installing it on the speed3 now so I will update tomorrow

[@13965082]

Late question but what size is the O2 sensor socket?

[@1023jeffhardy]

I definitely don't recommend the cobb ots stage 1 map. I ran it on my st for about 10k (I know I should have gotten a pro tune just wanted to go stage 2 first) and number 4 piston blew apart. Just be careful man. Ford wont cover it so I'll be building it myself.

[@interceptingfist5682]

That's a long time running an ots tune. I'm scared to tune because of warranty.

[@1023jeffhardy]

@@interceptingfist5682 yeah unfortunately I didnt think that it would cause damage being that it was just a stage 1 map and I watched my afr like a hawk and never had it lean out. Oh well I'll be paying the consequences
