I changed exhaust on my fiesta and it drove me absolutely bonkers.

Originally got a 2inch press bent, mild steel exhaust with a hot dog centre ''muffler'' and a 2inch chambered rear muffler.

It was noisey as all hell so i got a proper muffler put in the middle and it was slightly smaller diameter.

I then got them to change the rear muffler to a TRIFLOW (three chamber) muffler and it was still noisey.

If i were you i would just remove the MIDDLE muffler and get a straight through 1 7/8 inch muff put in.

Anything else and it gets stupidly loud and stupidly droney + you lose torque.

Cool! I hope it goes well for you. I talked to a forum member here and he also reckons that Castle Hill Exhaust is pretty good. I hope they dont dissappoint.

Hey, I live in Castle Hill... you should let me know when you're getting it done cos I'd like to check it out. Maybe you can use my exhaust sound as a reference point.

Did u see a black VZ Maloo parked near the shop? that thing sounds like a BEAST. When I was getting my exhaust done, I was waiting for them to open the shop and then I hear this Holden/HSV drove in. Before I see who that was I thought "here they come"

There's an OEM bodykit available as an option for the WP Fiestas... nothin for WQ, at least here in Australia.

I've seen WQ Fiestas with Wolf bodykit sitting in a Ford dealer in UK. Maybe Ford is working with Wolf for OEM bodykit for WQ Fiestas?
