For my Fiesta ST. Anyone else have experiences with these on their Focus ST, Subaru, etc?

I know for a fact Cobb is the safest way to avoid being crushed by falling trees...

AccessPort = Amazing for the ST's. Quite a nice bump in power and torque all around.

I also have the Cobb intake tube and Cobb filter, doesn't do much except a bit extra pssshh. It's fine because I knew that from the start.

Also a Cobb short shift plate, at 30% reduction.

Basically all my mods so far doesn't require getting under it. I do want to get the RMM done (Focus ST has really bad RMM's, there is a TSB but my dealer doesn't agree that I need it) which requires renting a lift, I may also change the exhaust. They're not loud enough (and I don't want a fart canon) from a regular Focus, it needs a bit more crackle to its pop.

You got it, man. I'll try to do a review this weekend once I get the tuner and the filter installed. Cant wait to try out the state 1 tune, and, the Economy tune as well during my work commute.

Completely agree about the exhaust, I can barely hear my ST (I came from a Mustang GT), will have to see what COBB 's exhaust will sound like when they eventually release it. So you recommend the shift plate? I swear shifting this thing is like driving a truck. Thanks for the recommendations!

Only Cobb I knew was a BBQ :

Be sure to open your windows when using it in your Fiesta.

Let me know how it works, when I get my Focus ST I willl probably follow suit.

I have a e focus mount I put in for a month and took out to have the tsb done. It's perfect, you can have it for the shipping cost? It's the tsb mount they put in. I bought it because of the initial wait time for tsb.

I'm not sure about COBB's exhaust, but I do like the variety of parts avaliable to the ST's so far. Great to have selection! I haven't narrowed down to an exhaust yet, but I just want something a little bit louder - not too much but it definitely needs to step up from the current econobox exhaust note.

As for the shifter, it reduces the shift lengths, thats about it. My first stick-shift car so I can't comment on how it feels in comparison.

Good products, good people. We've had three Subarus get the COBB treatment; two dyno tuned at their shops. It's so nice to be able to call them up, say that you're using an off the shelf map, tell them where you're located, and have them email you a modified map that works much better than the off the shelf stuff. I think they still do that, anyways.

For the uninformed, whats a RMM?

i have there SF intake and box, downpipe, short throw with shift knob and accessport on my 2011 wrx. i love there stuff, well researched, thought out and they have great customer service. everything is easy to install, and the accessport is a simple plug and play that absolutley transformed my car. not only that, it helps smooth out power delivery/ driving experience during daily driving. the AP was hands down the best mod for the money

Sorry, Rear Motor Mount.

The stock mount is very very underwhelming, especially for a high torque FWD vehicle. During hard 1-2 and 2-3 shifts the engine will basically bang and the front of the car will skip rope with the stock RMM.

Ah gotcha. I know what you mean though, because the motor mounts on my SVT Focus are SHOT haha. They are on the list to replace.
