High flow catted DP from whoosh with an adapter to the stock exhaust with a muffler delete which sounds surprisingly good, lol. Saving up for an MAP or thermal, haven't decided yet.
I have the CPE catback exhaust. Zero issues with it. Sounds fantastic. While I hear it at highway speeds, it doesn't give me the ear hurting drone I've experienced with other catback exhausts on different cars.
@@Jowi182 the cpe catback is full 3 inch. It has a round resonator where the original resonator was just after the downpipe and at the end of it near the tailpipe there's also a helmholtz resonator. It flows awesome, looks great, sounds great but doesn't drone even with a 3 inch catless downpipe I been running it for 3-4 years. Very good quality.
Bought the MBRP system for my last fiesta after the straight piped Stock exhaust rusted in half, enjoyed it for the first two weeks then the Drone started growing in me, about 6 months later traded in that fiesta for another with the same exhaust and it was getting unbearable. Sounds great at higher revs and is loud af, but with how much highway driving I do it was ungodly for my daily commute, ended up getting the Mountune 2.5" Resonated cat back and am loving it, the quieter but deeper tone definitely improved the ride quality and sound of the car in my opinion
I've had, in order, not counting muffler deletes: fswerks, CPE, ford Racing, milltek, greddy, and finally, thermal R&D. Wife now has my old Greddy on her 2016 fiesta st
Just picked up my MAP CBE from your factory today, can't wait to install it on my '18 this weekend! It should make for a great package along with your intake which I installed a few years ago and have really enjoyed. Thanks to Nathan, Carlos, and the others at MAP I've worked with, fantastic customer experience.
For UK roads, the Fiesta is literally the best car I've had in terms of fun. It's not quick in a straight line but it handles beautifully, way better than the focus, the focus is horrible in comparison, and the new ones have this weird traction control that ruins everything and I turns itself back on every time you start the car, I cba for it. I miss my Fiesta genuinely, I might actually get an older one and try and retro fit it and make it quick
I have a 14 ST with the MBPR and love it, it sounds awesome, I had it put on at 20,000 miles and the car has 98,000 now, I’ve had problems with it what so ever, I get a lot of complements on it. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺🍺
@Niq ger Lel Very specifically, it droned at part throttle at highway/motorway speed. Cruising flat or downhill it was perfectly fine, but when I started going uphill more than a few% grade the drone would swell up and overtake my cabin. The Thermal absolutely sorted it, it's a great exhaust.
@@payko5262 I have the cpe with a catless downpipe and it is Def noticeable it doesn't really drone even at highway speeds. I love the cpe...thermal is also good it's quieter for sure I was between those 2 glad I went with cpe thermal would have been too quiet for my liking.
The MBRP is AWFUL. Came on my car when purchased, can't wait to get rid of it. Sounds great outside of the car, but inside it's all bass, and it drones heavily at the RPM ranges you'll be in most (during highway cruising and right at the shift point for normal in-town driving).
I have the mbrp but its not loud at all super quiet and specifically not ricey or fart canish. But that maybe due to the peron high flow sport cat and tubular exhaust manifold.
For owners watching this video, if you want the best SOUNDING exhaust, its the Flowmaster American Thunder. I spent a couple weeks going back and forth through videos like this until I decided it sounded the best, and in person I can confirm it sounds amazing. BUT, it is 409 stainless, not 304, so it WILL see corrosion if driven in winter. the tips are also meh looking, and it is loud enough to annoy your neighbors on cold start. But if you dont care about all that, it sounds ridiculously good, especially with an aftermarket downpipe.
would have liked the kms hurricane in the comparison, i think from most videos i heard it in it sounds pretty good, but no clue if it's just way to loud
There's no way your catback adds 20 HP lol. An intercooler + tune basically maxes the stock turbo, so the stock 2.5" catback isn't the restrictor. How does your catback magically make 20 horse power appear?
The Thermal sounds great but the Cobb seems to be the least rowdy of the lot and thats what I'm shooting for. If I want my ears to start bleeding after 10 miles I'll take my Magna out for a ride. The 2019 I just picked up has full Cobb bolt ons but OEM exhaust. That needs to change ASAP.
I liked that exhaust I thought about going with it but I went with a 3 inch cpe w my 3 inch whoosh catless downpipe. No regrets but the 2jr is awesome.
On stock turbo I'd say yes but with an upgraded turbo either big turbo or a hybrid a higher flowing exhaust is Def a good thing to have. I was fbo x37 on e30 I had a 3 inch catless downpipe and stock catback with resonator delete I switched it out for a full 3 inch cpe so now it's full 3 inch. It feels like it added power up top but most noticeable is the quicker spool in lower revs. Car feels more eager to get going it was pretty noticeable it isn't always just about peak power. I agree 37 hp from a catback is just stupid and not gonna happen but I wouldn't say they aren't worth getting especially with an upgraded turbo.
idk why but to me the catback systems seem too quiet for me. i have a resonator and muffler delet on my 2018 fiesta st and to me its one of the best sounding exhaust setups. of course i want an exhaust to add more power but i like a loud one as well. does anyone know a system that would fit this category?
What exhaust are you running in your Fiesta ST? Let us know in the comments 👇
Stock because it works, plus with age just like any exhaust system they get louder and I prefer the cleaner sound anyways.

@@rfouR_4 stock sounds like butthole :/
Your exhaust made HOW MUCH whp with a Cobb tune? 37hp?
What else was on the car?
Just the exhaust sounds:
1:53 Mountune
3:43 Thermal R&D
5:57 MAPerformance
7:52 MBRP XP
9:44 Cobb
I have the CPE catback exhaust. Zero issues with it. Sounds fantastic. While I hear it at highway speeds, it doesn't give me the ear hurting drone I've experienced with other catback exhausts on different cars.
What dimensions is it? and is it res or non res

I like that you started with the two best sounding (Mountune and Thermal).
Flowmaster American Thunder is an underrated choice, nice deep throaty sound
Love mine !
Thank you for showing some love to the fiesta gang!

Which one did u like out of all of those??
Wait... You guys have his and her Fiesta STs? I think that's much better than anything said in this video😎
Thermal sounds great! Perfect tone and volume level.

MAP and Thermal both sound great 👍🏼
I want the thermal r&d exhaust so bad
@@huntergross5476 me too
@@DirtyFiST69 one day we will be cool 😭
@@huntergross5476 lmao. Just get a whoosh DP and a muffler delete, that's what I did and it sounds pretty damned good. At least I think so.
@@DirtyFiST69 Okayy mr. ingenuity, I’ll have to check that out. I just really enjoy the burble the thermal gives off.
mountune. Simply awesome.
Currently CP-e (3" turboback), but switching the catback to Thermal 3" this week. Here's hoping it works well against highway drone.

*MBRP is the most "ricey" teenager one. Only get that one if you want your car loud.*

People like it cause its cheap and gets the job done
@@johnreilly4737 Hey John, do you have any clips of the MBRP on your car? Would love to hear how it sounds compared to these cars

currently looking to acquire and st soon, doing my homework lol. thanks for the awesome content
Glad we could help!
Love my MBRP. Sounds super aggressive and loud. Just how I want it.
are you on stock tune?
@@parkerwaldon463 Cobb Stage 2 93
im running a mbrp xpp catback exhaust on my fist and i love every time i mash the throttle. also i love the cold starts in the morning!
are u on stock tune?
Honestly I’m probably gonna go for the first one
Honestly I didn’t even know you guys made catbacks for the fiesta st lol
I think the thermal is the best on this list ngl
would have liked the kms hurricane in the comparison, i think from most videos i heard it in it sounds pretty good, but no clue if it's just way to loud
Focus st / rs soon

People with the thermal exhaust. I need some reviews. How's the drone?
The Thermal sounds great but the Cobb seems to be the least rowdy of the lot and thats what I'm shooting for. If I want my ears to start bleeding after 10 miles I'll take my Magna out for a ride. The 2019 I just picked up has full Cobb bolt ons but OEM exhaust. That needs to change ASAP.
Is the Cobb catback not to loud have 2017st and looking for a no loud cat back any ideas thanks
Milltek all the way. Shoulda made the list.
Had it on my Focus ST and just ordered a Milltek system for my Focus RS
The 2JR side exit still sounds the best to me.
I liked that exhaust I thought about going with it but I went with a 3 inch cpe w my 3 inch whoosh catless downpipe. No regrets but the 2jr is awesome.
I know catbacks won’t give huge performance gains but which of these would give the most if any
No one exhaust will make a noticeable difference in power from another on this list. Just go with what you think sounds the best!
@@maperformance thank you ❤️
Any 3 inch exhaust especially if you plan to go with a larger turbo
No love for Milltek?
I have the American Thunder by Flow master ..
how is it, thinking about getting it soon
@@tylerfrazier4505 I love it . Louder than stock but not crazy I think it sounds sick .
@@josephsantos5491is the droning bad on highway?
wheres the milltek and cobra ?
37 whp from a Catback?? Stop the cap. Factory flow is mint for whatever you can throw at it with the factory fuel system.

Decat Cobra
3" mongoose race cat , mongoose 3" non res and a 6x4 oval
Silly question maybe but do these fit zetec s?
No these are only compatible with the ST, though there may be Zetec options from these manufacturers!
@@maperformance awesome thanks 🙌🏼
Which is the best muffler sound for ford fiesta please answer me 🙏
No 2j side exit

Who gives a fuck about the specific kind of steel on the exhausts? Just say if it’s stainless or not.
