Is an exhaust even worth it?

[pelotonracer2]

[MENTION=241]pelotonracer2[/MENTION] did you order direct from Scorpion or would you know a US seller?

I might just bite the bullet for that exhaust after I get the IC installed and a tune!

I talked directly to Scorpion but bought it through Essex Parts in North Carolina.

OK Thanks! I hadn't called Essex to ask but didn't see it listed for 2015. I would assume the 2014 listing will work

Correct.

If you want a sound close to the Abarth it seems the Fiesta ST Rally Sport Exhaust by MRT is the ticket.
Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pbvDSBYAMY

But for everyday driving it seems the Cobb sounds quiet and drone free at cruising speeds but gets mean sounding when you hit it.

Correct.

Got an site address for essex? That exhaust note is very tasty and not too Boy racerish.

Thanks

There are No CARB approved replacement performance Cat's for the FIST. There are downpipes which have a Cat in them but they are not CARB Approved and will fail a visual inspection.



Until it falls apart.

hmm makes me wonder what else is illegal in cali.

I can't remember but if you google Essex Parts in North Carolina it should pull up.

Called "essex" ....left a couple messages....I guess they don't want to make any money.

 

[TyphoonFiST]

Just finally got ahold of them.....scorpion being imported by them is no more.....you got the only exhaust buy them. I'll contact Scorpion direct just for fun. And keep you all informed.

I'm assuming you went through the exhaust thread and listened to all the YouTube vids? I did and while its not perfect even on 1080p quality with decent headphones I tend to agree that almost all the aftermarket exhausts sound ricerish, except the milltek. Almost reminded me of a louder version of the stock exhaust.

Look, lets be real here. We love the Fiesta for its fun and handling. But for those of us that have had, or those that just like, bigger displacement motor exhaust, you won't find an exhaust out there that doesn't sound "ricerish". Its the nature of the beast with 1.6 liters.

Amen!

The mbrp ss 3 inch looks like the one for me then when I get around to it. Anyone else have it installed and what is their impression.

If that's what you like, go for it. A 3" exhaust is way overkill for this little motor. Hell, when I was going for 10's in my Camaro, the guys were trying to convince me that a 4" exhaust was necessary. Not so, and proved them wrong. It's a classic example of misunderstanding. These 1.6 motors, even on high boost, are fine with a 2", or at most, a 2 1/2" exhaust.

Cat-back exhaust is simply a diminishing-gains scenario and is not bad in any way. Going bigger is not any worse, you can go too small, and if you go 'too big' then at least it's still useable for future expansion.

This is the way I look at it also....it can be used for future use.

Hey, we agree on something!! . J/K. This is true, a 3" will be useful in the future with turbo upgrade, etc. If I'm not mistaken, most aftermarket DP's mate to 3" pipes as well.

I am Speaking directly to scorpion via email finding out shipping etc. Etc.....I'll keep you all informed ....

The best sounding exhaust would probably be CP-E and mbrp. Even though with the drone and raspiness in the mbrp i went with it and bought one . Just love the popping and crackling and turbo sound . Can't beat the price either .
