Default best size exhaust for focus

Hi

Thinking of getting sport exhaust for my 2007 focus. I have been searching the forum and people say 2inch system, one resonator (hot dog) and a straight through muffler at the rear. And someone else said 2 1/4 system with high flow single muffler and no rear muffler.

Which one would be the better option?

Thanks matthew

I reckon 2 1/4" with a single high flow muffler at the rear would sound a treat. I think the Focus comes out with 2 1/4" exhaust standard so why make it more restrictive?

If your gonna go loud with little restriction, 2.25.

2.5 would be good for a quiet, more restricted system.

keep it back on topic, otherwise it will probably end up ugly like last time.
there's guys on here that will be able to help, as many have put an exhaust on and have results to show.
