Description
Takeda 3" 304 Stainless Steel Axle-Back Exhaust System – Blue Flame Tips | 2016–2018 Ford Focus RS 2.3L EcoBoost
Upgrade your 2016–2018 Ford Focus RS with the Takeda 3" 304 Stainless Steel Axle-Back Exhaust System by aFe POWER. Engineered for dyno-proven performance, aggressive sound, and precision styling, this axle-back system enhances exhaust flow while offering exceptional durability and custom aesthetics.
Constructed from mandrel-bent 3" to dual 2-1/2" 304 stainless steel tubing, the Takeda axle-back outflows and outlasts factory systems. Its 14" x 6" high-flow muffler features a high-temperature metallic black powder coating to resist corrosion and maintain a clean, aggressive look. The system also includes a factory-style exhaust valve (uses factory motor, not included), allowing control of the exhaust tone for a smooth, tuned note or maximum performance.
Finish the installation with dual 4-1/2" Blue Flame stainless steel clamp-on tips with a laser-etched Takeda logo, providing an adjustable and stylish custom finish. For an even more aggressive sound, an optional muffler delete pipe (P/N: 49M00035) is available.
Installation requires cutting the factory exhaust system in front of the rear axle, using factory hangers for a secure, hassle-free fit, with all hardware included. Each system is 100% hand MIG welded for race-proven strength and long-lasting durability.
