Got an ST180 exhaust now and will be fitting it next week. The guy I brought it from put a sleeve on it for easy installation 馃槂

Just by looking at the ST and 1.0 Ecoboost boxes together they look similar. There hangers seem to be in exactly the same place. The only difference I can see is the pipe diameter.

The differences will be inside, as they are tuned for different engines but fit on the same chassis.

Yeah. I hope to listen to it first聽before having it welded up.

ST exhaust fitted today. It's spot on.

Has a nice deep subdued note and no more drone inside the car.聽

Would highly recommend the ST back box mod.

It's not a straight fit is it ?

You'll need a 45mm to 55mm sleeve off eBay for about 拢10 and some exhaust paste. The hardest part is cutting into the pipe.

I wouldn't use the guy that's fitted mine, he's such a cowboy 馃槅

Look at his handy work 馃槅馃槀

It's been a while since my last update but not much has happened to the car recently. Still enjoying the mods so far and run out of ideas at the moment.

Sorted my ST exhaust properly now with the sleeve welded as well as the old backbox. Still have a clamp at one end so I can swap them over of need be.

ST exhaust wouldn't be set up for the correct resonant frequencies.

Exhaust has to be matched to the engine.

How does that work ?聽

When designing the exhaust the baffles and construction of the muffler's and resonators are tuned for a specific engine, to get rid of unwanted sound frequencies and enhance others.

Well, still loving the ST backbox. Great lack of drone at motorway speeds and loudish at full throttle.

Only maintenance stuff planned in the comming months. 15" spare wheel purchased to fit over the ST calipers. K&N filter cleaning kit and Tarox discs with Mintex Pads for the front to replace the warped Ford discs.

More money wasted today. Thanks to Facebook I've now purchased a new spare 17" alloy with center cap and TPMS valve.

Also have a SATNAV on the way.

Must stop spending 馃槀馃槀

So the satnav is sold and purchased an AS crossover pipe. Opinions?聽

You got cash to burn mate, :biggrin:

I find the AS gives more induction noise over stock, plus I just changed the recirculating valve.

I couldn't tell the difference between the two but I don't have an open cone filter.

You've all probably read by now that Ford have decided to finally release a 5 door Fiesta ST. With this news I'm pleased to say I'll soon be putting my order in for a Spirt Blue version.

I've always wanted a 5 door ST ever since the MK6.5 came out around 06

So the Titanium X is slowly going back to full standard condition so parts are slowly being sold off. Now before you ask, the mountune hoses are staying on till Jan time but all the other bits have been going up for sale over on Facebook 聽(MK7 Fiesta page)

This is what I have left.

Zetec S foot Pedals and Focus Foot Rest. 聽 聽Zetec S Front Grill 聽(black) with Fog Surrounds and Front Splitter. 聽 聽LED Fog Light Units. 聽 聽Mountune Short Shift. 聽 聽Eibach Lowering Springs with Zetec S Shocks. 聽 聽Mountune hoses and Intercooler.

I'm keeping the airbox and filter for the ST 馃槅

If anyone's interested in any of the bits listed give me a PM and I'll sort you out.

I have a few other bits but have interest in them already or have already been sold so if it's not listed then is already gone.

Thanks guys.
