2019 fiesta ST; Whoosh Exhaust Choices?!

[HooniCars]

Hi guys excited to say i have sold my 2018 Golf R for a 2019 Fiesta ST, This car is so fun and agile. I really did miss driving a 6 speed as my golf was dsg!
Anyways i was looking at exhaust systems on Whoosh Motorsports as i would love some sound, was looking into the Borla, Thermal, & Milltek any recommendations?
Will they be too loud with a catless down pipe? which will have drone?

exhaust before downpipe + intake you think??

 

[s4uce]

I am planning on getting the thermal as well. Coupled with Whoosh catted downpipe. and cp-e intake. I think intake + intercooler should be priority though.

Also catless downpipes are a waste imo. They smell like crap when you roll your window down, and the power gains from it are negligible.

Also here is a comparison video between drone of Cobb and Thermals exhaust with a decibel reader.

I have a fswerks exhaust and I have installed 3 of their systems.

Thermal is great! No drone and it sounds amazing.

Exhausts, period, are a waste of money, catless DP only gains 3hp7tq... On A HYBRID! To get some sound with the Symposer delete to lower the chance of boost leak while tuned, I literally just changed my rear muffler for a glasspack, all the rest stock and it sounds nice and deep with some natural bits of pops and gurgles. $150 total including labor glasspack and resonated tip which doesn't do much other than move the sound out the back really.

Dan, you got any sound clips around somewhere? I've seen you talk about your setup a few times and it might be just what I'm looking for. I want more noise without dropping 700+ on a system I know doesn't give me any power

Thanks

Cell phone mic just didn't do it justice in just how deep it sounds... https://photos.app.goo.gl/AZDgrQ1Qg8j9kQQq8

I went full COBB and NEVER lose excitement listening to the exhaust. Windows down is even better!

To me COBB just reeks of quality compared to a lot of other exhausts I've used on different applications over the years. It wasn't cheap but I feel completely satisfied with the smiles per miles!

On a stock turbo a downpipe is pointless. If you want a prebuilt system the thermal is the way to go. I think I might be the one with the most time doing acoustic testing and engineering of FiST exhaust systems on the forums and after a few thousand spent and several iterations I wound up with the same solution Thermal uses for mitigating drone. Their rear "muffler" is a housing with a quarter wave resonator inside targeting the 106hz range that 3" exhaust drones at on a FiST. I don't regret the money I spent "playing" - I even recently ordered an MBRP from Whoosh to see if I could tame the savage drone that thing makes. If it works out I might even manufacture a run of rear sections for the MBRP exhaust with a built in quarter wave

I would've ordered a thermal but they weren't in stock, and the MBRP is a lot faster than bending a full new set of 3" tubing and my existing test-bed is getting pretty ragged from repeated cutting/welding.

I'm running the 2JR side exit and I love it. Drone is barely noticeable when in the highway. It also looks slightly unique.

Thanks for sharing. That... that sounds loud AF, to be honest. For some reason it sounded more mild on the clips I've seen so far. Pretty crazy that's with resonator and what looks like a fairly large muffler...
