Just Fitted Extractors - LS Focus

Penko13 · 17-07-2007, 08:35 PM

Hey guys

Just got my extractors fitted a couple of days ago and all i can say is that they are fantastic and i'm really happy with them.

They sound great and i have noticed a significant increase in both HP and Torque throughout the whole rev range.

The extractors are XFORCE Material:304 grade stainless steel
Designs:
4-1: 42mm-63mm

I've always had a little inkling that the Focus would take to extractors and exhaust well.

I always wanted to put a set on the wifes old Focus...but we decided to buy an XR6 Turbo instead...

I've got extractor envy :(

What exhaust do you have supporting these. Do you still have the cat etc.

I have an xforce cat back system which is a 2.5" pipe. xforce have to variants a loud version and a quieter version i opted for the loud version.

The extractors also came with a high flow cat so the old one just got chucked out. i didn't want to run the risk of a de cat system.

I must say i was really surprised with the power gains aswell wasn't expecting them to be so significant.

I had a look at the X-Force website, are the details outlined with the Mazda 3 system.

How much did the whole thing set you back.

Penko13 · 18-07-2007, 06:13 PM

Yeah they are both the Mazda 3 cat back and the extractors.

extractors = 950 fitted
cat back was around 700 fitted cant really recall

cheers

I got the exhaust done at a place called best mufflers in carlton sydney. have had a few done with them and had no problems what so ever, great service.

I love the pedders suspension it made the car look great and increased the handling significantly. Now with the suspension and the wider tires people cant believe how well it handles, its like a different car

will definitely check best mufflers out but with a quieter option. Dont want to deafen the 2yo. What u think of OZ racings Titans? Would be going o a red Zetec.
