Description
Ford Focus RS 2.3L EcoBoost (2016–2018)
Unleash the full potential of your 2016–2018 Ford Focus RS with the Takeda 3" 304 Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System. Engineered for performance, durability, and aggressive sound, this exhaust system outflows and outlasts the factory exhaust while providing a clean, high-quality finish.
Constructed from 3" to dual 2-1/2" mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel tubing, this cat-back system maximizes exhaust flow, improves horsepower and torque, and resists corrosion for long-lasting performance. Its 14" x 6" high-flow round muffler, finished in high-temp metallic black, produces a deep, aggressive tone while retaining a smooth, tuned note when the factory-style exhaust valve is closed. Dual 4 1/2" black stainless steel clamp-on tips, laser-etched with the Takeda logo, complete the system with a bold, custom-styled appearance.
This system installs with factory-style hangers and flanges, requiring no cutting or modifications, and includes all necessary hardware for a hassle-free installation. Optional muffler delete (P/N: 49M00035) and front resonator delete (P/N: 49M10007) pipes are available for those seeking an even more aggressive exhaust tone.
