Takeda 3" 304 Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System – Polished Tips | Ford Focus RS 2.3L EcoBoost (2016–2018)
Unlock the full performance, sound, and style potential of your 2016–2018 Ford Focus RS with the Takeda 3" 304 Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System by aFe POWER. Designed for dyno-proven gains, this exhaust system outflows and outlasts factory setups while providing a refined yet aggressive exhaust tone.
Constructed from mandrel-bent 3" to dual 2-1/2" 304 stainless steel tubing, the Takeda cat-back maximizes exhaust flow and resists corrosion. Its 14" x 6" high-flow muffler features a high-temp metallic black powder coating for durability and a sleek, performance-inspired look. A factory-style exhaust valve allows you to control the exhaust note, using the factory valve motor (not included), so you can enjoy a smooth, refined sound or unleash the RS’s full performance. The system is finished with dual 4-1/2" polished stainless steel clamp-on tips, featuring a laser-etched Takeda logo for a custom, high-end appearance. Optional muffler delete (P/N: 49M00035) and front resonator delete (P/N: 49M10007) pipes are available for an even more aggressive exhaust tone.
This exhaust system is a direct bolt-on installation, requiring no cutting or modifications. All necessary stainless steel hardware is included, and each system is 100% hand MIG-welded for race-proven strength and reliability.
