Well I've shopped around.. I love the way the Bosal looks on Foci.. thermals are too much, vibrants too loud... a borla on a 4 cylinder just sounds awkward... Anyone who owns a Bosal please throw some feedback my way.. how you like it, hate it.. traded it for a comparable system... what kinda feel does it add to the car...

I liked the fact that the Bosal is stainless steel and the HKS is coated aluminum...

It was a last minute decision

Good Luck at the Doc. I won't ask if you swing right handed...

And careful w/ that punctuation. I had to read a couple times before my gutter-head made sense of "Send you a new screw e-mail me"...

Thanks again man.
Also, I have nothing but good things to say about NewEdgePerformance, as well as McNew's. They've BOTH been great in my experience.

Sooo, how's the sound of the Bosal? I'm an old fart and looking for something fairly quiet for my new ZX3. Anybody got any pictures of the bosal installed, would sure like to see what it looks like. Our other ZX3 has the AEM, but thry're not available anymore.

I'll be able to tell you more when I get mine installed, But do a search here, on "Bosal", and you'll find everything from NICE dyno's to the reputation as being one of the "quietest/warmest" aftermkt. exhausts for the Focus.

the bosal is fairly loud from my experience, but it's a deep loud, not a buzz bomb. there are a few threads on here with mpeg's of the sound. as for looks, it's got one of those 3" tip canisters at the end so you definitely know it's there. i'm planning on getting one soon.

first off, of all focus exhuasts, its 1 of the quietest, if not the quietest. Second of all, i love their tips, the tips are nice and clean, small. But right behind the tip is that canister muffler which looks so sweet. The sound is awesome, the power is great, the build quality is outstanding, sounds really tuned
