The exhaust is like that due to the way the engines nowadays are designed to burn a bit lean so they turn the exhaust down to stop all the particulates going on the car. I had a turn down exhaust trim on mines for a while which made the turn down go straight and it was out from the bumper but it made a hell of a mess every couple of days. Also if you look under there the silencer part of the backbox is further back behind the chassis there is no room to add a backbox it has to be custom. You can get a custom backbox or catback made from powerflow and many other companies that use local companies in your area if you search custom exhaust. We did find a backbox specifically but it's not cheap https://www.directcarparts.co.uk/performance-c5/exhausts-c27/performance-rear-exhaust-silencer-for-the-ford-focus-mk2-05-2010-p2520

Piper create a bolt on cat back replacement for the focus in single or duplex form see there "rear section" has an option of seven different tips and designed to stick out from the bumper 130 pounds
