Chopped Muffler / stock pic for comparison
Focus RS
The dealer says they are replacing the muffler, but i am not sure its worth getting if that and other issues are present.
As someone who is not planning on modding so i am a bit out of the loop on what to look for in a modded car.
It is also illegal in my state to remove the muffler, but the car was originally from a state that has less restrictions.
Personally I would prefer stock.
Another thing to consider is that this is the first FoRS that has been close to me in about 2 months.
Do you think I should buy a FoRS with this kind of shoddy job done?
Does anyone have tips on other problems i should look for?
Things I have found so far:
Head gasket has been replaced with C rev
Muffler has been removed
Engine cover is gone
Front clip sags
There is a greasey substance on the engine near the head gasket (I could not tell if it was an oil leak or gasket grease, but it was black)
The clutch does not feel stock
The gears feel “clonky” compared to the FiST (This may be because i have not driven a FoRS before this one)
The headlights are not aligned
The adaptive headlights do not work
Any help is appreciated, TYIA
