My Ford Focus RS now finally has a new axle-back exhaust system from Mountune. It was inevitable following the install of the FPM375 package, but now it is done and I love the sound it makes!
Marius Andersson he's done it to a couple of his cars now it's not really a major change for most cars so it can easily be reverted back to stock or in this case is covered by warranty anyway
Shmee150 yeah I know it launches better than an m4 and it keeps up with it nicely maybe ask mountune if you can take the maxed out focus RS and race it with the a45 !
Princess Peach yeah I noticed that... I assume it's so it fits snugly against something but it must restrict it!? Not sure why you'd have a larger diameter exhaust and then put a massive crimp in it though
Awsome sound . Brought a smile to your face bet the radio doesn't get used much . Great to see the old exhaust was nicely packaged impressive firm . Great review Shmee .
"i have this car to be a little bit rebellious" literally every ounce of rebel shot out the window with that comment hahah. Sweet upgrade though shmee, sounds awesome.
I was surprised to see that the prop shaft wasn't covered separately from the exhaust heat and the environment hazards like dirt, water and stones. Other than that, a very nice and down to earth exhaust upgrade. This little Focus sounds 10x better than Pauls M3.
One of my favourite RUclipsr whose content is worth waiting for. Cheers for the great content shmee and the focus rs must be a hoot to drive now with these great mods from mountune. Looking forward to knowing your decision in regards to the Amg GTS or the worthy replacement for your upcoming touring events. May your excellent taste in cars make you take the right cost effective decision. -- cheers !!
I really enjoy how you're working with tuning company's and you're not just featuring the high end cars. I'd love to see you feature more JDM and Muscle on the channel stuff. I know there's multiple tuning company's in the UK with crazy stuff like 1000BHP skylines/Evos along with some really cool classics. You also said you enjoyed drifting if you have time maybe attend some of the drift events in the uk. Also please please try do something with a guy called Mark Webb he's a drifter and bmx rider really nice guy with some really cool cars
I had an old VW Beetle many years ago that crackled and popped like that, and then spit an exhaust tip down the road! It looks like yours is bolted on a lot more securely :)
Does sound pretty cool, what i wanna know is how Manufacturers are able to map the pops and bangs in without causing damage. We do them on the Mitsubishi Evos and they chew through exhaust gaskets and the turbo eventually
I love what your doing with this car they really take to mods well.As for wrapping the car its already a beautiful blue just needs tinted windows but im sure youl get a nice wrap
Imo the price/quality of this car is by far better than your other cars. Sure, not really comparable, but the value/power/fun you get with this car is amazing.
I think wrapping the car could be quite cool. I love the blue that the Focus RS comes in but it's a bit too common. Sadly though, I think the other colours from the factory simply don't do the car justice, which is probably why the blue is so popular. So a wrap would really make it stand out from the crowd if you ask me.
Great vid as always. Not sure if they offer subaru over there but have you tried a test run with a WRX STI? I would love your thoughts on it. As always keep up the great work!
Wrap it in matte black with metallic white, light grey, and charcoal colored stripes. I especially like the Wide tri-colored stripes that start at the lower front outer fender wheel well. Then they goes straight along the side of the body and just past the the 2nd backseat door, then the stripes curve up over the back fender and end just before they hit the taillights.
How much is the new tailpipe, liked to seen them cutting the old one off, are you keeping it or putting it on Ebay. Should think the Bizzies will be pulling you over soon.....
I was watching your axle back exhaust install and I noticed on your intercooler you still have a factory sticker cover on your intercooler it's in the right-hand corner of your intercooler Peel it off and you will get better cooling in your turbo you're in a cooler is only getting three quarter airflow

Shmee150 can you change the wheels?
Shmee150 Why did you choose the Focus RS over other "hot hatches" like a Golf R?
I think you should change the wheels and lower the car a liittle bit, so it is still a daily driver.
I can change them, not sure I will :)
Shmee150 how come you pin your own comments?
'New exhaust system' you mean a new backbox :P
Why do i see you in every comment section? :D
You mean a muffler?
He comments literally on every car related channel video
Trying too hard to get his shitty channel noticed
HAHAHAHA
Delete this
Shmee dosen't look like the type of guy that changes the exhaust!
But I do like it when it happens!
he already do it on his old cayman GT4
Marius Andersson he's done it to a couple of his cars now it's not really a major change for most cars so it can easily be reverted back to stock or in this case is covered by warranty anyway
love how you actually have a personality and give a "natural" vibe from your channel not something fabricated. good looks man.
Glad the 'new exhaust day video' memo was stuck to by at least yourself, Paul & I. Sounds awesome!
Why are car manufactures not given this sound as stock..
emission, always.
It makes sense you have only gone with the axle back to keep the warranty! Good work Tim
Dark blue wrap would be pretty sick, like the RS 2000 Cosworth
Gandalf m8 with the gold rims 👊
Sounds pretty good Tim!
You get around!
Do a modified rs vs Archie's modified a45 amg
Still Archie's is heavily modified. I am not even going to try, I would lose anyhow
Shmee150 yeah I know it launches better than an m4 and it keeps up with it nicely maybe ask mountune if you can take the maxed out focus RS and race it with the a45 !
Shmee150 think ken blocks rs could beat that a45 he got 640 hp
Messi Messi thats a full blown rally car. doesnt really compare to the production focus rs
I dnt knw bout this a45 u guys wen talkin only read heavily modified just check on youtube
He dnt even have 1% chance vs ken blocks rs :)
The pops and crackles sound lovely !!
Shmee, when you hit 1 million subscribers could you do a car spotting video?
The shaking camera mount is louder than the exhaust :D
I thought I'd watch a couple of videos, then move on, but I've become a fan of Schme150 now, due to his enthusiasm, it is infectious.
Great to see an exhaust system on the channel, good choice Tim!
after watching your videos I went for a test drive today and bought a new one there and then. Thanks Tim.
those crackle and pops are so awesome!
Sounds absolutely immense
ON THE ROAD TO 1 MILLION!!! I cant wait!
The shot of the system in the box - there is a HUGE crimp in one of the pipes??!!
Princess Peach yeah I noticed that... I assume it's so it fits snugly against something but it must restrict it!? Not sure why you'd have a larger diameter exhaust and then put a massive crimp in it though
watch engine masters about exhausts having dents, it BARELY effects performance, like 0.1bhp
Awsome sound . Brought a smile to your face bet the radio doesn't get used much . Great to see the old exhaust was nicely packaged impressive firm . Great review Shmee .
Like a kid in a sweet shop....I'm smiling almost as much as you listening to that!
the Mk2 focus rs that my dad had was awesome with the backfiring but the mk3 that you have shmee150 with the new exhaust sounds amazing!
"i have this car to be a little bit rebellious" literally every ounce of rebel shot out the window with that comment hahah. Sweet upgrade though shmee, sounds awesome.
Never gets boring !
Great really enjoy your Focus RS videos. My FPM375 happening in 2 weeks
very nice sound, it just sounds like the resonances that you don't want are gone and it's now clearer and a little bit more loud of course
Dear Lord, the difference is HUGE! Another great decision Tim, keep up with those awesome videos! Cheers ✌🏼
Could you imagine a Shmee gaming channel...
It exists ;)
Should start it again haha
Shmee150 really?
Yup, ruclips.net/user/ShmeePlays

It's my birthday 🎉
Congratulations :)
you need to say happy birthday
Happy Birthday :)
happy congratulations!
Shmee150 thanks
Nice cracks and pops! Sound nice shmee. Keep the old one and use that one for the fun!
I have not expected that it crackles like this 😍 oh my god
Tim, well done. what a great addition to the RS. Perfect sound. Thanks for sharing (Mike in Ohio)
I was surprised to see that the prop shaft wasn't covered separately from the exhaust heat and the environment hazards like dirt, water and stones. Other than that, a very nice and down to earth exhaust upgrade. This little Focus sounds 10x better than Pauls M3.
Very cool Shmee! Now I think it needs a satin black racing stripe to match the wing
Great review Shmee, just what I was looking for.
When I saw the title, I was scared because of the noise inside, but it sounds great. Good job!

Go for a complete new colour wrap! Old school Ford RAC Rally livery - white with blue stripes.
I'm loving the sounds!
Shmee the new exhaust on the Focus RS is awesome
ASBO COMES TO MIND!
black gloss wheels will look banging
Not too bad for a 4 banger!
What a magnificent sound!

With the new PCM update by Ford you get the pops in normal mode now too!
I feel like Shmee has more fun with these kinds of cars than his supercar videos. Still loving the content 😊
Well done mate sounds AMAZING
just wanted to hear an exhaust, but guy likes to talk
Now I need one. You've convinced me.
Wow this really does sound great.
I had an old VW Beetle many years ago that crackled and popped like that, and then spit an exhaust tip down the road! It looks like yours is bolted on a lot more securely :)
Sounds so much better 👍🏻
this sound is so nice
Tim is like a little boy. When he gets excited his voice pitch goes up. Chalk and cheese between him and MrJWW
i saw a stock rs today it look and sounds so much better then in the video!
I hope I can get my hands on one of these later in the year.
Damn boy this is eargasmic!! Love it!! 👌🏼💪🏼
Does sound pretty cool, what i wanna know is how Manufacturers are able to map the pops and bangs in without causing damage. We do them on the Mitsubishi Evos and they chew through exhaust gaskets and the turbo eventually
Imagine living across the street from Shmee. Would be kinda cool to wake up on supercars :D
That exhaust sounds awesome bud !
A must upgrade
This sounds really good!
What I do like is that with nearly 1million subscribers Shmee does reply to comments and get involved :D :D
Love your car.. so practical and wicked performance.. I want one !!!
I love what your doing with this car they really take to mods well.As for wrapping the car its already a beautiful blue just needs tinted windows but im sure youl get a nice wrap
i feel like many comments are sort of negative, but I still like your content shmee :) keep it up

@Shmee150 my fully stock MK3 RS pops and bangs at the very top of the rev range in normal mode!
7100 miles. When does it need servicing?
Great vid as always. Not sure if they offer subaru over there but have you tried a test run with a WRX STI? I would love your thoughts on it. As always keep up the great work!
Well, that sounds really nice!
Since you're the mod king now, which motor would you recommend for my Skyline? A Gallo 12, or a Gallo 24?
LOL mod king...
I didn't know know pizza places made engines
Shmee150 the Focus RS is an excellent choice 😎. You should get the mounting front intercooler and down pipe upgrade in the near future.
WOW sounds amazing and I am have to say its worth the money LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
what about some matte black stripes similar to what the fiesta st has? Maybe you could extend upon it with some more decals
Great video love the sound
Leave it as it is, it's great!
Wrap it in matte black with metallic white, light grey, and charcoal colored stripes. I especially like the Wide tri-colored stripes that start at the lower front outer fender wheel well. Then they goes straight along the side of the body and just past the the 2nd backseat door, then the stripes curve up over the back fender and end just before they hit the taillights.
Such a nice car shmee!
Brilliant! what is the next upgrade for this pretty Focus RS!?
YAAAAH love that NOISE!!!
How much is the new tailpipe, liked to seen them cutting the old one off, are you keeping it or putting it on Ebay.
Should think the Bizzies will be pulling you over soon.....
Tim, if you decide to hang on to this, you should have someone do some aftermarket performance mods to see what it is capable of.
Sounds so mean, I LOVE IT!!
Would like to the see the air-fuel ratio right before and after it pops. Sounds real rich?
That sounds so good!
Have you ever done an oil change?
I was watching your axle back exhaust install and I noticed on your intercooler you still have a factory sticker cover on your intercooler it's in the right-hand corner of your intercooler Peel it off and you will get better cooling in your turbo you're in a cooler is only getting three quarter airflow
Sounds great. I wonder how many people know why and how the exhaust pops and cracks like that.
Alexander Barr over fuelling and hot pipes
Nahh mate its the fairies.
Next week I installed a gt wing on the focus rs
Sounds really nice.. and mountune just up the road from me .
Makes a fucking crazy sound for a catback system.
Well done Mountune
Nice thumbnail Tim. Working' that photoshop!
Jeremy Frey I thought it was really floating!
THAT BACKFIRE!
Tim how much have these two upgrades cost you? And do they specifically need to be done at Mountune?
