Let's see: Loud exhaust = big balls. Hmmm? Does that mean all those twerps with their boom-boom, ultra-bass, window rattling, sound systems have big cajones? And anyone who isn't deaf (or making other people deaf) have little tiny ones? :lol:

wow really? settle down there guy, were not starting a fight here, were just voicing our opinions. YES, clockwork was a little off with his statement, but I'm sure he meant nothing by it. You already got your answer with the stealth exhaust anyways from O2 and Pappy; also focinite was discussing something with you, and all I see if complaining about all the little comments. Yes, I made a stupid comment too, but thats because a lot of people over react, and I like to push buttons. Especially the BIG RED ones!! hehe. well whatever. :) If you have a problem with the little comments, then ignore them... not hard to do.

ahhhemmmm .....i have 2600 watts of ear splitting power, also with a twist of the happy knobs i can shake tool on my garge wall. 8) but this has nothing to do with the size of ma gibblets, i just like to have a very good sounding system, the fact that it will flex my doors and make my parcell shelf flop around is a mute point. and yes i am going deaf, i work with air tools and i listen to my music loud, but that makes it harder for the bull ish to get through. :lol: :lol:

There's an old Roman proverb: Taste is not to be disputed. I don't have any heartburn with what you're doing (although it is difficult to hold a conversation with someone who is hard of hearing :D ).
Anyway, I guess I'm just getting old. I like excellent sound too - just not as loud as I used to.

its weird that you find the stock svt system too harsh, i wounder if the muffler/resinator got burned out quicker do to the boost and added heat? in the svt system i have found the resinator does all the muffling anf the actuall muffler just changes tone. i removed the resionator on mine and it made it sound like an old johnson out board, so i put it back on, i still may remove the muffler or just build a whole cat back, dont know, but for me the stock svt exhaust is almost to quite. 8)

It's not horribly loud. It's just that Focus cabins are not particularly quiet. I'm not sure, but I don't think it has changed much during the 65,000 miles that I've driven it.

What about adding some sound deadening?

what I've been seeing alot of people do to quiet their cars is go to the hardware store and buy the self adhesive 1' carpet squares. under the back seat is bare and a few other places back there, get alot of road noise and such.

Wow! I remember those carpet squares from the 70's! Especially the Orange and Avocado Green ones! Far out! I hope they still have them in shag. Anybody got a spare shag rake available?
