Borla S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust System with 3-Inch Polished Tips (140454) - 2012-2017 Ford Focus Sedan 2.0L
Wake up the high-performance spirit of your compact car with the high-impact Borla S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust System. Custom-engineered for 2012 to 2017 Ford Focus models, this premium full-length exhaust upgrade introduces Borla's legendary acoustic profile: the classic S-Type sound level. Formulated explicitly for driving enthusiasts and compact tuning purists who crave a highly aggressive, sport-tuned exhaust note under acceleration, this system is calibrated to give the naturally aspirated 2.0L 4-cylinder engine a bold, crisp, and high-impact growl. This configuration delivers a commanding exterior acoustic presence while relying on advanced straight-through internals backed by Borla's official No-Drone Guarantee to keep the cabin completely comfortable and drone-free during highway cruising, daily commuting, or spirited road trips.
The internal engineering of the Borla 140454 targets key factory flow restrictions by incorporating an upgraded high-efficiency performance layout featuring a 2.25-inch diameter main pipe configuration throughout. This performance architecture utilizes ultra-smooth mandrel-bent performance tubing and patented multi-core internal geometry that maximizes exhaust velocity and optimizes scavenging to unlock hidden horsepower, sharper throttle response, and enhanced fuel economy across the entire powerband. Designed to route flawlessly along the undercarriage, it completely accommodates models with factory PZEV (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle) hardware and leaves plenty of extra flow capacity for additional aftermarket performance modifications down the road. Built completely from premium-grade, aircraft-quality T-304 austenitic stainless steel, this highly durable cat-back assembly defends permanently against structural degradation, intense under-car heat cycling, and severe corrosion. The spent exhaust gases exit through a distinctive dual right rear exit configuration finished with premium 3-inch round, angle-cut polished T-304 stainless steel tips. Precision CNC-manufactured for an accurate line-to-line bolt-on fitment, this system utilizes all factory mounting positions and is backed by Borla’s legendary lifetime Million-Mile Warranty.
Chassis & Configuration Notes: This 2.25-inch cat-back system is engineered specifically for the Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) Mk3 Ford Focus platform equipped with the 2.0L non-turbo 4-cylinder engine. It delivers an exact line-to-line fitment for 4-door Sedan body styles across both manual and automatic transmission options. Please note that this system is tailored exclusively for the sedan chassis footprint and will not fit the shorter hatchback models or Focus ST/RS variants.
