I couldn't sleep at all so I went out to the garage and wrenched away!
Installed my Magnaflow exhaust. It's one I had on my '12 Fiesta SE.
I wasn't sure if it would fit our bumper so I took the time to jack the car @ all 4 corners and drop the rear suspension. With the suspension dropped I was able to unhook the stock exhaust from the hangers/downpipe and slide it out of the way to test fit the Magnaflow before cutting the stock to get it out.
It fit great except the hangers on my muffler must have been welded on @ the wrong angle. It always was a little crooked on the '12, but never enough to touch anything or look out of place. Well, not so lucky with the ST. Took it to a local muffler shop to see what they could do. 45 minutes and $30 later they had cut the hangers of and welded on new ones to make the muffler hang straight.
I did a complete spray with High Heat Primer and High Heat Flat Black since it had rusted while sitting in the garage for 2 years. The rust was sanded away before priming. Did that job last week.
