Pretty good video! I've had a 2018 Focus ST since 2021 and I absolutely love it. I'm also in California. I have to ask, though, how the heck are you pulling off a catless downpipe? You know how strict our state is with emissions. Also, I'm surprised you didn't mention a blow-off valve, since the one from the factory eventually cracks and leaks.
I’ve been running catless since I bought my previous st. They don’t care as long as your not being dumb. I did get state reffed and I passed cause I took everything off. But you should be good if you got a quieter cat back. Also not a big fan of bov I have the Ford performance aftermarket one, gonna be doing the external bov soon cause I’m going big turbo
While these cars are incredibly fun, they have their quirks. For example, with a cold engine, you absolutely should not get into boost until the engine oil temp hits at least 150. If you do get one, make sure your first mods are a catch can, PCV plate with baffle, and intercooler. The first two are for engine longevity. The intercooler is a must because the factory intercooler is useless after a few hard pulls. Heat soak is real bad on them. I wish I had invested in those 3 things right from the jump when I got my ST. Also, be very strict about your maintenance. This one is very important: never go wide open throttle under 3K RPM in 5th and 6th gear. Do a search on LSPI, (low-speed pre-ignition) and do your reading on it if you don't know about it already. Most popular tuners are Edge Autosport, Stratified, and JST. I've been tuned by Stratified and am pretty happy with it. Cameron Alford has a great video on his channel about what you should know before getting an ST. Remember, with great STUTUTUTU comes great responsibility.

This vid makes me want a focus
You should get one bro. You won’t regret it
What wheel spacers do you have, I bought some 20mm spacers on the same rims you have and it did fit.
I bought them off cj pony parts. They have all the specs you need for a flush set up
I’m running 20mm all around
Hub centric

Yea I highly recommend it. So fun man and easy to mod and enjoy. Tons of aftermarket support
