I dont know about for foci, but I have Pacesetter on my Honda and I think it sounds like crap.

I've heard its quiet, compared to others. Just go with the MBRP man. I have it as well and highly recommend it, love the sound, definetly one of the best in that price range. If I wanted to spend double what I spent on the MBRP I'd get the Borla setup.

Here is a good article FJ did awhile ago. http://www.focaljet.com/shootout_0.html

I think they cover the PaceSetter kit in there. I personally will always love the sound of a Borla'd Focus.

I loved the Borla I had on my VR4. I judt can't justify dropping $450+ on a catback for a car that, lets face it, is not performance oriented.

THEM'S FIGHTIN' WORDS! lol. That can go either way - but yeah, be practical, I say MBRP. I swear I'm not a rep either, I just love it on my car. Cheers!

that focaljet review made it quite clear it was junk.
MBRP looks like the way to go (as it has since I first bought my fofo)

hey try the OBX under axel cat back its sounds great and looks way better than the rest. it isnt much more than the pace setter and its full stainless. i ran mine with a Kamikaze header with a focus central flex pipe. it sounded badass!!!!!! it sounded very tuned with no honda rattle can or buzzard noises. it was the best sounding header/catback combo ive heard in a long time. i put 80,000 miles on the exhaust in a year and a half and no problems and you could still talk in the car without yelling while driving on the hiway.
