Lennard Hartman you can actually do a lot more with a golf R with just a tune and downpipe and make comparable numbers to the ford without looking like a boy racer... just saying.
Omg that red GT40 is a mk.3 road car, those are freakishly rare (only 7 were made). I believe that one was on display at the Geneva Motor Show in 2015.
Thank for the classy little notice in the beginning letting us know it was a paid promotion, so many TH-camrs try to explain it in words and they always seem to stumble over their words and come off defensive. Very classy job Tim, as usual.
Love the by pass valve sounds. The tune for the ECU is what gives the air filter and recirculating valve its power. I'm in USA and have a Fiesta ST could not wait to put Mountune parts on it as I've been waiting for performance Fords and watching Mountune tune these cars for over 13 years now. So exciting we get to use these parts.
Anonnymouse Hacker Maybe we have different definitions of boy racer. To me it's a 17-20 year old doing laps of his local town in a Corsa C with an Irmischer exhaust or a Fiesta Zetec S or something. A Focus RS costs around £30,000 and would be impossible for a boy racer to insure never mind afford to buy.
Tom Shaw At age 17 with little to no credit history and most likely a low paying job either part time in a shop while you study or as an apprentice or something? There is a reason you don't see teenagers driving cars like this. You'd have a nightmare getting an insurance quote in the first place, never mind being able to afford it!
Adam. I'm 18 and I've got friends the same age with new 135i BMW's, Golf R's and Mini Cooper JCW's all on pretty low paying jobs, personally I couldn't justify so my MK6 Golf will do for now but at least it's bought and paid for
As far as I'm aware, if you modify your car, then make a warranty claim, they can only knock you back if they can prove the modification had something to do with it. So if you modify the exhaust, and your electric seat malfunctions.....then they have no reason to not honor your warranty.
The Mountune exhaust is a very good shout. my friend had a mk7.5 Fiesta ST with the MP215 and exhaust upgrade from Mountune and it was brilliant. Exhaust makes it really nice.
Having been part of the Focus RS tuning scene for 5 years, I would partially disagree. Cat back is just noise, but intake and downpipes are essential for higher states of tune.
From experience of owning multiple turbo cars, the biggest power adders are 1, the ecu tune, which you have done 2, an aftermarket down pipe for the exhaust, the is usually a 10-15 whp gain. 3, is an aftermarket intake which you have done. In my opinion a tune down pipe and intake should give you 40-maybe 50 whp gain. Which in a light small car like that is a big difference! I think Tim if you go with an exhaust make sure you get a down pipe with it. It will double the turbo sound and give a lot more power. And this is all coming from experience of owning and modifying an Audi A4 and a Subaru Wrx. The Subaru I took from the stock 220 ish hp to 305 AWHP and 315AWTQ those 3 mods are by far the best first mods you can do besides turbo upgrade.
As soon as my RS ,which I'm due to collect Monday, is run in, then I'll be heading to Mountune HQ as well. They are a good bunch and Fred in particularly there always has plenty of time for anyone. When I got my Fiesta ST MP215'd I was fortunate enough to get a tour of the workshop as well. Had an Arrows F1 car there that day plus Mat Jackson's BTCC Focus 👍
My FPM375 is being fitted on Friday 😀 I'm going to get the axel back exhaust and quick shift early next year too. Love the vids and your enthusiasm for the Focus RS. It truly is a remarkable car. Love mine! 👍
Get the exhaust tim its a no brainer mate it will enhance the modifications even more it will be less restrictive than the standard exhaust and sound much better
I deffinately think doing more upgraded to the rs would be awesome. and it really shows that you can upgrade a car and keep it in warranty. not many people know that. but. I think it would be a fantastic series on the channel and one that many people would enjoy.
Get the full package with mountune. I've got a mk6 fiesta with the full MR200 package and it's second to none, literally transforms the car. I've had milltek and mountune exhaust setups and mountune wins all day, also warranty >>
This is incredible. Would love to find a company like Mountune here in Ontario, Canada! It's a big sell knowing that you're not messing with the factory warranty.
I appreciate that you spread the joy within your stable, but I just am going crazy wanting to see you get that GT8 out on the street and thrash it well, hopefully on a dry pavement day. Soon, I hope.
finally!! yes shmee upgrade for the RS, please do get the exhaust system and intercooler installed for your RS, makes such a difference to the focus RS, as a friend off mine has the new RS with these added made a huge difference to sound a d power delivery. I've got a full Mountune exhaust and intercooler and induction kit added along with a engine map on my ST made a huge difference to that car. I know there different gen cars but still Mountune know what there doing when it comes to ford performance. sweet video!!! keep it up
i just love MK I ford escorts. that is so cool that they had one there. i'll be honest, i didnt know much about them before Fast Five, and i'm a bit embarrassed to say i learned anything about a far from a F&F movie, but i've been obsessed with those escorts ever since.
i love it that u have a RS and love it that you love it lol Definitely get the exhaust system......love watching you drive something that we can afford lol
shmee I am new to the channel. just wanted to say that I am now hooked, addicted and love the videos! one day hope to own either a classic or new mustang or RS. Thank you for keeping my car dream alive :)
shmee; this is awesome. love the new mountune tune. I agree love that sweater too aha. anyways yes you should get the exhaust, and have them program the logo into your center display.
Great job Shmee I approve, as a car enthusiast who fit in this kind of performance car. I think wait a little bit on the exhaust. a lot of exhaust will especially the type without catalytic convertor will bring you drone noise. Be patient maybe more will come in the market .
Another good video Tim. I must admit I own a mk2 rs and I've driven the mk3 a few times and I was really underwhelmed at the whole experience compared to the previous model.
the low figure increase on paper doesn't take into account the psychological impact we humans give ourselves with these upgrades. we convince ourselves things are much better than, in reality they actually are. manufacturers know this and take advantage of it.
I think you should put a gloss black wrap on the roof so it will appear to be tied in to the windshield glass and be a continuous piece. just an idea. I sell Ford and you picked the best body color, the pearl effect is amazing.
I think you've been waiting for it, but now my Focus RS has been to Mountune for the FPM375 package!
Does the MPG change while driving normal??
Shmee150 have you found out anything else for your ford gt
You really need to put a blow off valve, make that turbo scream
Hi Tim, how come you have so many cars? It's something I've always wondered?
Greetings
Shmee150 definitely get the exhaust upgrade!
tomorrow twin turbo. 900 horsepower in the mini
Aidam Tabirao 😂 imagine. But wait. 900 horsepower or .900? Meaning 0.900 horsepower 😂 which is more like it's real horsepower xD
Stephen Burack lol
A Hayabusa engine would be enough for the Mini
twin turbo Hartley V8, rear engined and rwd or nothing :p
TheDidiwolf34 would take some fitting and sound proofing 😉👍
Shmee saying "cheers" at the end always reminds me of a goat bleating...
TheStreetsBeats lol probably due to his half-laugh he uses while saying it.
TheStreetsBeats :(
3:58 high quality badge fitting process 👌👌
Sgd On cars yeah i see that
That's where the extra horse power comes from 👍
375hp is actually quite a lot for what is basically still a 'small' hatchback car.
Ford is definately the king of hot hatches at the moment.
Lennard Hartman but still not enough compared to the stock A45
Lennard Hartman you can actually do a lot more with a golf R with just a tune and downpipe and make comparable numbers to the ford without looking like a boy racer... just saying.
Lennard Hartman sorry but the golf r is by far the king of hot hatch
Omg that red GT40 is a mk.3 road car, those are freakishly rare (only 7 were made). I believe that one was on display at the Geneva Motor Show in 2015.

You'd have to be one rich boy racer to be driving a Focus RS!

Needs an exhaust, but probably voids the warranty?
(Milltek makes a great exhaust for the RS)
statesidesupercars it doesn't void the warranty from mountune, the axel back exhaust is warranty friendly
Ben Gallagher Not worth it imo, you really want the full Monty with downpipe etc.
life is too short for warranties
As far as I'm aware, if you modify your car, then make a warranty claim, they can only knock you back if they can prove the modification had something to do with it. So if you modify the exhaust, and your electric seat malfunctions.....then they have no reason to not honor your warranty.
@adam Cooper that made me laugh hahaha !
The Mountune exhaust is a very good shout. my friend had a mk7.5 Fiesta ST with the MP215 and exhaust upgrade from Mountune and it was brilliant. Exhaust makes it really nice.
90% of the gain is from re-mapping the ECU, intake and exhaust is just for noise
amcluesent Mire like 98%. He should tested itcwithe the remapping and then tested with the cold air intake.
Having been part of the Focus RS tuning scene for 5 years, I would partially disagree. Cat back is just noise, but intake and downpipes are essential for higher states of tune.
It's good seeing content on cars that are actually within reach of some of us, rather than the usual £2m Koenegseggs etc. Good job
From experience of owning multiple turbo cars, the biggest power adders are 1, the ecu tune, which you have done 2, an aftermarket down pipe for the exhaust, the is usually a 10-15 whp gain. 3, is an aftermarket intake which you have done.

Those pops and bangs in the tunnels are just incredible!
it's amazing what a basic intake upgrade can make. you really can feel that the engine behaves differently because it can breathe more easily.
Gotta do that to my Hyundai Accent 😂😂
As soon as my RS ,which I'm due to collect Monday, is run in, then I'll be heading to Mountune HQ as well. They are a good bunch and Fred in particularly there always has plenty of time for anyone. When I got my Fiesta ST MP215'd I was fortunate enough to get a tour of the workshop as well. Had an Arrows F1 car there that day plus Mat Jackson's BTCC Focus 👍
tuner package with a warranty! Nice!!!
Mountune tuning package for the Ford Focus RS, amazing Tim sounds awesome Shmee, thanks for sharing
Wished more companies can do tuning with full warranty!
Automotive Mike wish Gm will offer it for their factory turbo cars. Like the malibu with 1.5L and 2.0L . Only offer is springs.
My FPM375 is being fitted on Friday 😀 I'm going to get the axel back exhaust and quick shift early next year too. Love the vids and your enthusiasm for the Focus RS. It truly is a remarkable car. Love mine! 👍
She definitely needs a turbo back exhaust :) With a nice resonator and a good muffler, would sound epic.
Some great roads around there
Good to see mountune featured
Get the exhaust tim its a no brainer mate it will enhance the modifications even more it will be less restrictive than the standard exhaust and sound much better
One of my dream cars, thanks for sharing, I'm looking forward to more tuning content!
I deffinately think doing more upgraded to the rs would be awesome. and it really shows that you can upgrade a car and keep it in warranty. not many people know that. but. I think it would be a fantastic series on the channel and one that many people would enjoy.
Perfect upgrade. Upgrade exhaust sounds fruity!
Definitely get the exhaust system. Either the Mountune kit or the Milltek system
There are a lot of different options. Not sure yet.
Get the full package with mountune. I've got a mk6 fiesta with the full MR200 package and it's second to none, literally transforms the car. I've had milltek and mountune exhaust setups and mountune wins all day, also warranty >>
This is incredible. Would love to find a company like Mountune here in Ontario, Canada! It's a big sell knowing that you're not messing with the factory warranty.
The mountune 375 upgrade is great! Had a chance to drive my friends RS mk 3 recently - Loved the exhaust pops and bangs!
Yes! You definitely need to get a full exhaust system.
Yes, put on the "new" exhaust, it's fantastic
Shmee, Mountune USA does not have a warranty package, none the less, it does make your car go fast!
Tim I think the exhaust is the natural progression for your car it will have the sound to match the looks
a glimpse into tim's ocd on cars, when he notices the cars mirror was folded in ,in front of him ...lol, great stuff shmee!!!
Been down them country roads in a Toyota Auris diesel at night & they were fun & no doubt even better in the day in a Focus RS Mountune
Go with the full 380 kit Tim. You know it makes sense!!!
Shmee you've got to have that exhaust on your car love the turbo whistle through the M3 that you took out
The Focus RS with a big turbo upgrade on a stock engine, Ive seen 483 WHP on the dyno. So we need a review of that!
I appreciate that you spread the joy within your stable, but I just am going crazy wanting to see you get that GT8 out on the street and thrash it well, hopefully on a dry pavement day. Soon, I hope.
Tim,take it as soon as possible to a track day,and push it as hard as you can !
finally!! yes shmee upgrade for the RS, please do get the exhaust system and intercooler installed for your RS, makes such a difference to the focus RS, as a friend off mine has the new RS with these added made a huge difference to sound a d power delivery. I've got a full Mountune exhaust and intercooler and induction kit added along with a engine map on my ST made a huge difference to that car. I know there different gen cars but still Mountune know what there doing when it comes to ford performance. sweet video!!! keep it up
Get the full 380 Kit intercooler and exhaust!! I also think you should get the. Sticker along the side!
Go for the exhaust completes the package!
i just love MK I ford escorts. that is so cool that they had one there. i'll be honest, i didnt know much about them before Fast Five, and i'm a bit embarrassed to say i learned anything about a far from a F&F movie, but i've been obsessed with those escorts ever since.
Hey Tim, you should get what you feel you want on your car be it exhaust or the whole package we support you in whatever the decision you make
Nice vid, shows how to upgrade nicely and smoothly the car
Take it to Dyno and check the real numbers after the upgrade :)
The stickers on the sides look good I think they would look good on your car.
Yes, you should get the exhaust. Shouldn't even have to ask on that one!!!
I sounds pretty good now. I'm personally not a big fan of the turbo blow-off sound, but other than that I think the RS deserves this upgrade :D
awesome vid Tim... mountune do a great job with their upgrades... need a kit on my ST
You should go for the full exhaust system, and not worry about the warranty. A sports exhaust (with sport cats) makes all the difference.
If Mountune makes a downpipe that's warrantied eventually you should most definitely do it, plus an exhaust of course
i love it that u have a RS and love it that you love it lol Definitely get the exhaust system......love watching you drive something that we can afford lol
I think you should get the full works kit with the intercooler and exhaust. it will make that focus really cool Shmee
@Shmee150 - Finally a video with some more action...some backroads driving :)
I love that color combo on your rs
Tim, really been enjoying all your videos. great work! (Mike in Ohio)
shmee I am new to the channel. just wanted to say that I am now hooked, addicted and love the videos! one day hope to own either a classic or new mustang or RS. Thank you for keeping my car dream alive :)
Nice voice crack at 7:12, great upgrade to the car btw!
Pretty awesome to see you driving down the same Brentwood roads I use every day. I am also a fan of that little tunnel! ;)
Hey Tim Shmee, I love your new upgrade. Yes I want you to put a new exhaust, 8 inch axleback. If I'am right, take care.
That white RS was perfect wow.
Yes get the exhaust kit!
Awesome video Shmee, loved it. Thank you for all of your videos and for being such an awesome car enthusiast. Cheers!
Definitely get the new exhaust!
Every time I see your focus I start to want one
shmee; this is awesome. love the new mountune tune. I agree love that sweater too aha. anyways yes you should get the exhaust, and have them program the logo into your center display.
Omg love the turbo sound
Good choice going to Mountune, I heard they do good work.
Another awesome video. I'm loving that tune, sounds mean.
That MK1 Escort was soooo nice!!
Damn I love the RS so much, can't wait to see the rest of the mods you plan on doing
also I vote yes on an exhaust system
Shmee mate, Ford Fair at Silverstone circuit on the 7th of August, biggest Ford event in Europe! make it happen!
Is a proper super hot hatch indeed the mk3 focus RS. Wish the interior was better finished and it would be perfect!
Great job Shmee I approve, as a car enthusiast who fit in this kind of performance car. I think wait a little bit on the exhaust. a lot of exhaust will especially the type without catalytic convertor will bring you drone noise. Be patient maybe more will come in the market .
definitely needs the exhaust setup
Definitely get the exhaust system!
The best colour out of all your vehicles. Least favourite: your grape-mobile.
Get the exhaust Tim, makes sense with the other mods from Mountune.
Another good video Tim. I must admit I own a mk2 rs and I've driven the mk3 a few times and I was really underwhelmed at the whole experience compared to the previous model.
the low figure increase on paper doesn't take into account the psychological impact we humans give ourselves with these upgrades. we convince ourselves things are much better than, in reality they actually are. manufacturers know this and take advantage of it.
exhaust is a good choice, get the mountune/ miltek exhaust it's the same thing with different name on the tail pipe:-) cheers steve :-)
Your exhaust sounds fine.
Yeah, get the exhaust!
well it was worth it! Good road Tim
I think you should put a gloss black wrap on the roof so it will appear to be tied in to the windshield glass and be a continuous piece. just an idea. I sell Ford and you picked the best body color, the pearl effect is amazing.
Go for the exhaust YOLO!
Kool updates for the RS
Gotta admit, the Nitrous Blue looks pretty sexy.
Focus RS doesn't have the same charm in White.
Shmee you got to have that a full exhaust system
Bro, your content is good as always but you gotta do something about your hair...
My manager and my girlfriend are insisting I change it :P
Shmee150 Haha maybe it's a sign;)
no need to mention your girlfriend twice :p
Hahahahhahahaha
Schmmeee was seriously struggling to contain his inner Essex-boy in this video! LOL
Cool car Shmee, All those supercars you look at in your videos are amazing but your Focus RS rather have one of them.
fit some BC Racing or TEIN coilovers on it to make the stance of it look a lot better Tim!
The mod-bug has bitten you! Soon we'll see liberty walk kits i bet!
