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 !
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
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
"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.
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 .
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.
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 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
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 !!!!
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
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.
Sounds amazing but are you planing on doing any mods to the mini, maybe a twin cam head, coiliver suspension, change rear subframe to a beam axle, twin tanks the list could go on and on lol
One of my favourite TH-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 !!
I am the only one who noticed the HUGE flat spot on the pipe at 2:45? That definitely affects the exhaust flow causing power loss. Probably the stock pipe has the same bent, but it would have been wise to fix it.
It's a clearance bend. That little bit of a flat spot will have NO affect on the power output. I refer you to the Motor Trend engine dyno series where they are testing various headers and piping. They ended up taking a sledge hammer to the headers just to see what it would do to horsepower. All of the years I have spent being so careful with headers and exhaust tubing went right out the window in a matter of minutes. Large dents and bends meant NOTHING on the dyno. Shocking, I must say. Only at peak RPM, with a full race engine, might a smooth, free flowing exhaust make a difference. I realize you won't take my word for it, so go to Motor Trend Engine Masters video series and check it out. Your exhaust life will never be the same.
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.....

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
Why are car manufactures not given this sound as stock..
emission, always.
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.
The shaking camera mount is louder than the exhaust :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 :)
Dark blue wrap would be pretty sick, like the RS 2000 Cosworth
Gandalf m8 with the gold rims 👊
just wanted to hear an exhaust, but guy likes to talk
Shmee, when you hit 1 million subscribers could you do a car spotting video?
Like a kid in a sweet shop....I'm smiling almost as much as you listening to that!
The pops and crackles sound lovely !!
Sounds pretty good Tim!
You get around!
Go for a complete new colour wrap! Old school Ford RAC Rally livery - white with blue stripes.
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.
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.

It's my birthday 🎉
Congratulations :)
you need to say happy birthday
Happy Birthday :)
happy congratulations!
Shmee150 thanks
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
What about the Tripple r front splitter and rear diffuser?
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 😊
"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.
Great really enjoy your Focus RS videos. My FPM375 happening in 2 weeks
what about some matte black stripes similar to what the fiesta st has? Maybe you could extend upon it with some more decals
those crackle and pops are so awesome!
Could you imagine a Shmee gaming channel...
It exists ;)
Should start it again haha
Shmee150 really?
Yup, th-cam.com/users/ShmeePlays

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 .
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
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.
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!
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.
When I saw the title, I was scared because of the noise inside, but it sounds great. Good job!
Tim is like a little boy. When he gets excited his voice pitch goes up. Chalk and cheese between him and MrJWW
Dear Lord, the difference is HUGE! Another great decision Tim, keep up with those awesome videos! Cheers ✌🏼
Would like to the see the air-fuel ratio right before and after it pops. Sounds real rich?
Sounds absolutely immense
I have not expected that it crackles like this 😍 oh my god
With the new PCM update by Ford you get the pops in normal mode now too!
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 :)
That exhaust sounds awesome... I can definitely yo having some fun with that when you're out and about.
Never gets boring !
Very cool Shmee! Now I think it needs a satin black racing stripe to match the wing
Brilliant! what is the next upgrade for this pretty Focus RS!?
Shmee the new exhaust on the Focus RS is awesome
What's with the rattles from 9m50s onwards? Is that the car, or a Geiger counter doing it's thing?
Crushed pipe leading into the muffler???
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
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.
Sounds great Shmee!
did the exhaust system increase any numbers for the bhp or the torque??
Yes but only minimal
oh yeah, a new back box adds like 50bhp. Go down to Halfords for a K&N air filter and you're looking at gains of 300bhp minimum.
Hi, nice video and car, do you know or can confirm if the EcoBoost are made with forged motor pieces? Kind regards
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
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 !!!!
black gloss wheels will look banging
7100 miles. When does it need servicing?
Tim how much have these two upgrades cost you? And do they specifically need to be done at Mountune?
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.....
Nice cracks and pops! Sound nice shmee. Keep the old one and use that one for the fun!
Tim, well done. what a great addition to the RS. Perfect sound. Thanks for sharing (Mike in Ohio)
What was the discount you got for putting a few videos up?
Where did you get the RS model you showed on one of your previous videos? I can't find it anywhere.
Which RS model do you mean? The 1:18 car model?
Yes. The scale model next to your lego Mini. (I guess "RS Model" could have been interpreted a couple ways.)
Is the M380/B3-B5 packages also in compliance with Ford warranty?
Black chrome/gunmetal wrap leaving the light blue color as two ford gt style racing stripes?
When you're ready to move on from the RS, do you reckon you will replace it with another hot hatch?
Nope not any time soon.
flashuk100 I think he only bought that so it was a route to the Ford GT
CRAIG brown Well then he can sell it cause he (got) the gt but he still have it so i think he just likes it
On the contrary, you might want to read this: shmee150.com/came-first-chicken-ford-gt-egg-focus-rs/
Quite ridiculous how many accusations are thrown at you, I just asked if you would be sticking with hot hatches in the future...
have you had the PCM update Shmee?
Imagine living across the street from Shmee. Would be kinda cool to wake up on supercars :D
That exhaust sounds awesome bud !
is it a 2.5 inch piping system?
Hadie Roseli the factory system is 2.75" all the way back. imagine the Mountune is the same
wow pretty large piping size from a factory system. the more you know
2.7 inch piping stock? are you sure? lol...thats like 400hp plus v8 piping
Isit Fast? yes
good God I just read up on it and its actually 3 inch piping!!!!Insane
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
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.
@Shmee150 my fully stock MK3 RS pops and bangs at the very top of the rev range in normal mode!
Have you ever done an oil change?
Sounds amazing but are you planing on doing any mods to the mini, maybe a twin cam head, coiliver suspension, change rear subframe to a beam axle, twin tanks the list could go on and on lol
Not planning any upgrades on the Mini, you want tuning info on a MINI? Go watch the project of my manager's R56 GP2 ;)
Great review Shmee, just what I was looking for.
It just sounds like it's broken. It would drive me crazy having those pops and bangs!
for the tuning, slam it on the ground (gotta scrape thos leaves) put in some engine upgrades and maybe some new rims
Shmee150 the Focus RS is an excellent choice 😎. You should get the mounting front intercooler and down pipe upgrade in the near future.
Will you tune any more of your cars?
ASBO COMES TO MIND!
One of my favourite TH-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 !!
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.
Do car exhausts have decibel killers or do they need them?
What I do like is that with nearly 1million subscribers Shmee does reply to comments and get involved :D :D
Any plans of showing us the drift mode, as promissed on collection day ? ;) Maybe on some old tires ?
I would love to... I had twice the option to do it, but I had to cancel it last minute! :(
Too bad, hope you can work it out someday and show us the amazing content !
Where is this mountune workshop? I
Want to enquire about getting my RS exhaust upgraded too. Thanks.
Makes a fucking crazy sound for a catback system.
Well done Mountune
The mk2 focus rs is still the king of hot hatches.
I'm a simple guy, I heat good exhaust system, I click like.
Shmee thinking on doing a tour to South East Asia?
Thinking about it, but planning it is really hard!
what a huge diff it makes!!

Paul Copeland thanks for the info, will check that out.
You are welcome. Get ready for a eye opener!
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.....
Next week I installed a gt wing on the focus rs
How about getting a wrap, retro rally style Ford Repsol Escort Cosworth graphics and OZ Racing wheels
Shmee you should get it wrapped in camo now
Where can you get the mountune exhaust like that?
Mountune.com? ;)
