EPIC FAST 420HP BEAST! MOUNTUNE SPORTS CAT & MSD420 REVIEW! | FOCUS RS

Описание: I've played with the Mountune full system AND MSD420!

I have now had some time to get properly acquainted with the Mountune sports cat / downpipe for my MK3 Ford Focus RS as well as the MSD420 map and so I am back to give you a rundown of my views, thoughts and feelings as well as some cool sound bites showcasing the stage 2 plus awesomeness from Mountune and Motorsport Developments!

Hopefully you will get a good idea of the sounds the setup now makes and the performance gains it provides although I am aware that it doesn't always come across fully on camera vs real life!

I cover many things including plenty of chat about how the full exhaust system sounds in different scenarios as well as discussing the other aspects gained by installing the Mountune sports cat and indeed discuss the MSD420 map, what it is like compared to my previous setups and other aspects such as hardware requirements!

I include some chat about what I feel are the drawbacks or negatives of the setup including the ongoing issue that I have with the smell of exhaust gasses entering the cabin which Mountune have told me should be happening and to get it checked for a leak (see next week's video!) but hopefully that will all be sorted soon and I don't think it is a major issue as there are no codes being thrown, no loss of power or any smoke blowing or anything else for that matter.

I splice in sounds, trying to capture the array of different sounds that the setup now makes with MSD420 and Mountune sports cat / downpipe in conjunction with the V3 exhaust from Mountune that I already have. I show you static revs, driving revs / pulls, a cold start and I even find a bridge / mini tunnel for some special fun!

The sports cat is of course the gateway to stage 2 plus - it enabled the switch to MSD420 - but, as I felt after install, pickup feels faster and more eager with the Mountune downpipe even on MSD400!

Going to MSD420, however, is a whole different ball game!

Having the full setup at 420hp is really a new experience both in terms of sound and performance! The sound is very much like a rally car with an epic soundtrack of loud pops and crackles along with lots of corresponding burbles to create the whole sonic package. The speed that can be achieved is immense but it is not just about top line numbers, MSD420 adds plenty of extra torque where it really counts and where you really feel it - in the mid range - so the power is even more accessible and feels rather insane, especially when b road blasting!

I really do believe the Mountune V3 and sports cat /downpipe combined with the other hardware I have and the MSD420 map is one of the best set ups available for the MK3 Focus RS!

Going into the future, should I stop seeking more power? Should I get a custom version of MSD420 done? Should I get the wallet out and go big turbo? Let me know in the comments!

Mountune say:
The mountune downpipe / sports cat has been engineered for the mk3 focus rs to reduce exhaust back-pressure at the turbocharger, allowing faster response and additional power.
Features include a large diameter 5” motorsport-type, 200 cell count metal substrate honeycomb catalyst, to ensure effective, ultra high flow performance in extreme environments.

Motorsport Developments say:
Maximum power output on factory engine internals and further increases the engines torque output to 580 NM and peak power output to 420PS.
The rev limit is extended slightly and all the temperature protection features of the management system are retained and further optimised to suit the vehicles new power output. Rest assured that if your coolant, oil, exhaust or charge temperatures get too high, the ECU will actively lower your available throttle opening and boost pressures as well as add fuel to cool things down until such time as the temperatures are back within safety parameters. Full LSPI / Knock control is retained at factory safety levels.
