My Focus RS Now Has a Mountune Exhaust System!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- I popped out to Mountune in my Ford Focus RS to install the axle-back exhaust system, and what a sound it makes! It was inevitable following the install of the FPM375 package, but now it is done.
Not intrusive in general driving but with truly hilarious backfire crackles on lift-off and revving, and most importantly without disturbing the warranty situation at all. From stock the mkIII Focus RS is already an awesome machine, but after completing the FPM375 upgrade and now the exhaust it's something else.
A huge thanks to Mountune for everything, this is amazing!
Thanks for watching, Tim

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!
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?
love how you actually have a personality and give a "natural" vibe from your channel not something fabricated. good looks man.
'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
Glad the 'new exhaust day video' memo was stuck to by at least yourself, Paul & I. Sounds awesome!
It makes sense you have only gone with the axle back to keep the warranty! Good work Tim
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.
Why are car manufactures not given this sound as stock..
emission, always.
"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.
Like a kid in a sweet shop....I'm smiling almost as much as you listening to that!
Dark blue wrap would be pretty sick, like the RS 2000 Cosworth
Gandalf m8 with the gold rims 👊
Tim is like a little boy. When he gets excited his voice pitch goes up. Chalk and cheese between him and MrJWW
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 .
after watching your videos I went for a test drive today and bought a new one there and then. Thanks Tim.
Sounds pretty good Tim!
You get around!
The shaking camera mount is louder than the exhaust :D
Great to see an exhaust system on the channel, good choice Tim!
ON THE ROAD TO 1 MILLION!!! I cant wait!
I feel like Shmee has more fun with these kinds of cars than his supercar videos. Still loving the content 😊
Dear Lord, the difference is HUGE! Another great decision Tim, keep up with those awesome videos! 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
The pops and crackles sound lovely !!
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!
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.
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
With the new PCM update by Ford you get the pops in normal mode now too!
I'm a simple guy, I heat good exhaust system, I click like.
those crackle and pops are so awesome!
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 :)
Shmee the new exhaust on the Focus RS is awesome
Sounds absolutely immense
Shmee, when you hit 1 million subscribers could you do a car spotting video?
Imagine living across the street from Shmee. Would be kinda cool to wake up on supercars :D
That exhaust sounds awesome bud !
What I do like is that with nearly 1million subscribers Shmee does reply to comments and get involved :D :D
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 :)
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
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.
@Shmee150 my fully stock MK3 RS pops and bangs at the very top of the rev range in normal mode!
Never gets boring !
That exhaust sounds awesome... I can definitely yo having some fun with that when you're out and about.
Shmee150 the Focus RS is an excellent choice 😎. You should get the mounting front intercooler and down pipe upgrade in the near future.
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
One of my favourite UA-camr 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 !!
Very cool Shmee! Now I think it needs a satin black racing stripe to match the wing
Tim, well done. what a great addition to the RS. Perfect sound. Thanks for sharing (Mike in Ohio)
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
ASBO COMES TO MIND!
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.
Lower it shmee! On the mountune/eibach springs, work with standard struts and not too low to be worried about speed bumps, just fill the wheel arches better and look more aggressive !!!!
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 feel like many comments are sort of negative, but I still like your content shmee :) keep it up
Could you imagine a Shmee gaming channel...
It exists ;)
Should start it again haha
Shmee150 really?

Brilliant! what is the next upgrade for this pretty Focus RS!?
this car is getting meaner by the day!!! I love this car, so unassuming and yet a beautiful machine for any petrol head. a mean wrap is in order i guess.....
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
black gloss wheels will look banging
Makes a fucking crazy sound for a catback system.
Well done Mountune
It just sounds like it's broken. It would drive me crazy having those pops and bangs!
i saw a stock rs today it look and sounds so much better then in the video!
Sounds great Shmee!
Sounds good, more power and doesn't hurt factory warranty. What's not to like 🙂
Tim, I see you've been averaging 24.5mpg(5.41into the video), that's not too good, though I guess compared with most of your other cars it's pretty conservative, lol.
It definitely sounds better now, I think you are going to enjoy your drive home! Shmee the rally driver!
cheers
tony
Rally style mud flaps would look great - the Rally Armor ones are good. Mountune have just started selling these flaps re-branded with their logo
what about some matte black stripes similar to what the fiesta st has? Maybe you could extend upon it with some more decals
Now Tim is going to complain that the car is using excessive amounts of fuel !!! LOL Sounds good
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!
what a huge diff it makes!!
I think you could put some more details in black, but your RS looks and sound pretty good.
The mk2 focus rs is still the king of hot hatches.
You should definitely do the martini livery like you did on the gt4. god we miss that cute little porsche but i really think that martini livery will really look cool on the focus rs.
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
Great review Shmee, just what I was looking for.
Not too bad for a 4 banger!
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.
Would like to the see the air-fuel ratio right before and after it pops. Sounds real rich?
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.....
In answer to your last question wrapped yellow would look great with the black wheels etc, and there aren't many yellow RS Focuses around!
cheers
Lowering springs and maybe some nice wheels would really add to the sporty look
Now I need one. You've convinced me.
Just put my Mountune axle back exhuast on my 17 NB RS today. boy it sounds more angrier hahaha. also you can hear the turbo exhaust more, on stock it was very muted
Hi, nice video and car, do you know or can confirm if the EcoBoost are made with forged motor pieces? Kind regards
It's my birthday 🎉
Congratulations :)
you need to say happy birthday
Happy Birthday :)
happy congratulations!
Shmee150 thanks
VERY nice exhaust. Wish the RS had a auto available, way too much traffic here for a manual :(
Nice addition but in my opinion, the exhaust tips should be a matte black instead of polished stainless steel.
I was wondering about something, I know you enjoy super cars but are there any other things that you like or enjoy such as home audio and video, brands of products that you prefer or enjoy like a tablet, or cell phone?
I think it`ll make a nice but different video.
Anyway, keep up the good work and I really enjoy watching your videos.
I hope I can get my hands on one of these later in the year.
How about getting a wrap, retro rally style Ford Repsol Escort Cosworth graphics and OZ Racing wheels
Sounds really nice.. and mountune just up the road from me .
That mountune isn't bad at all! I'm thinking of Miltek for my RS tho
Well done mate sounds AMAZING
Sounds so much better 👍🏻
Black chrome/gunmetal wrap leaving the light blue color as two ford gt style racing stripes?
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.
Wow this really does sound great.
I'm loving the sounds!
Leave it as it is, it's great!
A must upgrade
What about the Tripple r front splitter and rear diffuser?
