Description
Takeda 3" 304 Stainless Steel Axle-Back Exhaust System – Black Tips | Ford Focus RS 2.3L EcoBoost (2016–2018)
Enhance the sound, performance, and style of your 2016–2018 Ford Focus RS with the Takeda 3" 304 Stainless Steel Axle-Back Exhaust System by aFe POWER. Designed to deliver dyno-proven gains, this system improves horsepower and torque while providing a refined yet aggressive exhaust note.
Constructed from mandrel-bent 3" to dual 2-1/2" 304 stainless steel tubing, this axle-back outflows and outlasts the factory exhaust system. The 14" x 6" high-flow muffler is coated in high-temp metallic black powder for long-lasting durability and performance. The system features a factory-style exhaust valve that allows control of the exhaust tone using the factory valve motor (not included). Dual 4-1/2" black stainless steel clamp-on tips with laser-etched Takeda logo complete the aggressive look. For an even louder, more aggressive tone, an optional muffler delete pipe (P/N: 49M00035) is available.
Installation is straightforward, using factory hangers. The factory exhaust must be cut in front of the rear axle, and all required hardware is included for a hassle-free installation. Each system is 100% hand MIG-welded for race-proven strength and durability.
