As mentioned in the other thread you've got the Duratec engine ... and I can confirm that the sound is [Borat]very nice [/Borat]
One decision you'll have to make though is regarding the second cat - a decision the Zetec boys don't have to make because that engine has a single cat.
MBRP doesn't make a Focus exhaust specifically for the Duratec ... so your choice is to remove the cat, at which point the MBRP becomes a bolt on affair ... or keep the second cat and modify the exhaust to fit.
I went the second route, so my installation cost was a bit more and took a bit longer - a job I don't think I would attempt to do myself.
Adam (NOS2GO etc) I believe kept the second cat - I can't remember what Daniel did (NEFCANUCK) - but there are a number of us here with Duratec and MBRP.
Good luck.
