- UK's first off-the-shelf ST220 estate sports exhaust
- Free fitting
- £50 off for first five readers
- Incredible quality
- Joins JP's range of ST220 saloon and hatch systems
The UK's first off-the-shelf sports exhaust system for Ford's fantastic ST220 estate has finally arrived, courtesy of JP Exhausts.
The fully-stainless ST220 estate system follows hot on the heels of the respected exhaust manufacturer's recently-launched ST220 saloon/hatch system - which are proving so popular that several ST220 owners have already removed systems from other highly-regarded brands in order to fit the JP product.
Like the saloon/hatch system, the high-performance estate exhaust features incredible quality, a purposefully sporty V6 sound and subtle OE-plus styling with discreetly enlarged twin tailpipes.
The price of this amazing-quality ST220 estate exhaust system is only £499.99 including VAT and fitting or delivery*.
JP's high-specification ST220 estate exhaust has been precision-tuned for superb sound quality and performance. Its twin standard-style 3.5in tailpipes let out a deep growl under hard acceleration yet allow for refined cruising at motorway speeds.
Available to fit Mondeo ST220 (3.0 V6 petrol) estates built from 2002 to 2007, the JP Exhausts cat-back system is engineered from large-bore Grade 304 stainless steel tubing with stainless 8mm flanges. For maximum flow, the ST220 estate system runs twin 2in/50.8mm pipes (aftermarket Mondeo V6 exhausts generally go straight into one pipe) before merging into one 2.5in/63.5mm tube.
From there it splits into a pair of polished stainless steel back boxes, each featuring stylish and discreet OE-plus 3.5in (88.9mm) slash-cut inverted tailpipes.
Expertly manufactured in the UK by well-respected exhaust engineers, the ST220 estate system's build quality is nothing short of spectacular. Despite its low price, this exhaust's specification features all the hallmarks of a bespoke or motorsport application, including mandrel bends, tube-to-tube merge collectors (individual tubes carefully cut and welded together, rather than basic pressed-steel pieces) for optimum gas flow, top-notch pulse TIG welds, flange joints for easy fitting and removal, plus double-skinned silencers. The purchaser benefits from a full lifetime warranty.
The JP Exhausts ST220 estate system provides noticeable improvements in driveability, allowing for effortless acceleration and an enhanced experience behind the wheel.
JP Exhausts will soon be adding further ST exhaust systems to its range of fast Ford products. Please keep an eye out for further details.
The Ford Mondeo ST220 estate exhaust system is available from:

Macclesfield,
Cheshire

Details of Petition:
“Announced in the budget on 12/3/08 were increases in Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax). These announcements made scant reference to the fact that they were RETROSPECTIVE and affect all cars dating back to 2001. Owning an older car and keeping it running is FAR more environmentally friendly than scrapping it and manufacturing a new one, no matter how much more efficient then new car is. The manufacturing process creates huge amounts of CO2. Owners of older cars do not have choice - potential purchasers of new cars do. This will seriously damage the second hand car market and the leisure industry. Cancel the retrospective taxation NOW.”
The Governments response is that "no motorist will will face a tax increase greater than £5 in 2009, and then £30 in 2010. In 2010, many cars will see tax cuts of up to £30. When these more significant rate changes are introduced in 2010, a majority of motorists in post-2001 VED will either pay less or the same as in 2009, in real terms. Drivers of cars purchased between 1 March 2001 and 23 March 2006 that emit over 225g/km will maintain their exemption from the top rate of VED."

I've done this for a few reasons really, the first one is because it's being expanded to cover the Focus ST (information from www.STdriveRS.co.uk), so it seemed a bit silly to link to a Mondeo site.
Secondly, I think Wiki's are a fantastic source of information. It's like having an online Haynes manual, but written by the everyday person. So I'm going to try and advertise it around various Ford websites, and hopefully encourage other websites to make use of it, and to contribute to it. Making it a standalone information resource rather than an add-on to a Mondeo site is one of those steps IMO.
Feel free to spread the address around

The price of this amazing-quality ST220 exhaust system is only £459.99 including VAT and fitting or delivery.
Unlike the majority of aftermarket systems - which tend to be a touch too loud or that little bit overloaded in the tailpipe department - JP's high-specification ST220 exhaust has been precision-tuned for superb sound quality and performance. Its twin standard-style 3.5in tailpipes let out a deep growl under hard acceleration yet allow for refined cruising at motorway speeds.

Mondeo ST TDCi drivers can get the exhaust their car has been craving, thanks to
the new high-performance system from JP Exhausts. Designed to add a sporty
exhaust note and maximum flow, the high-specification stainless steel system
also provides effortless style to the popular sporty Ford.
The price of this amazing-quality ST TDCi system is only £400 including VAT and
delivery.
Available to fit Mondeo ST TDCi (2.2 turbo diesel) four-door saloons and
five-door hatchbacks built from 2004 to 2007, the JP Exhausts cat-back system is
engineered from large-bore (2.5in/63.5mm) Grade 304 stainless steel tubing with
stainless 8mm flanges and flexible joint. A subtle yet purposeful 3.5in(88.9mm)
single slash-cut inverted tailpipe gives an OE-plus appearance.
Precision manufactured in the UK by well-respected exhaust experts, the system
features mandrel bends for maximum flow, top-notch pulse TIG welds, flange
joints for easy fitting snd removal, plus double-skinned silencers. The
purchaser benefits from a lifetime warranty.
Best of all, the JP Exhausts system provides the ST TDCi with the sound and
sporting credentials to match its looks. Removing restrictions of the standard
system gives the diesel-powered Mondeo an almost petrol-like turbocharged sound.
It’s ideal for enthusiastic owners wanting to remap their engines.
Driveability is significantly improved, allowing eager turbo spool, effortless
acceleration and safer overtaking. It’s the exhaust system that Ford should have
fitted from the factory.
JP Exhausts will soon be adding a Mondeo ST TDCi decat pipe to its range of fast
Ford products, along with a Mondeo ST TDCi estate cat-back system. Please keep
an eye out for further details.

This is for two reasons.
1) Speed. Using an external search engine dramatically speeds searches up.
2) Quality of results. Google is well known for producing the answer you are looking for due to it's algorithims and all the other fancy complicated technology it uses, much more so than a simple database search which the average forum driven search engine uses. As an added bonus, it can search both this site, and FordMondeo.org, meaning you have a much greater chance of finding the answer you are looking for.
I would appreciate your comments on how you find the new search experience

The 305 PS (224 kW) / 440 Nm top of the range performance version of the Focus extends the flexible production mix at the Saarlouis Plant. The German facility already produces the Ford Focus range in 3- and 5-door hatchback, wagon and sporty ST bodystyles, plus the
C-MAX and Kuga models.
Saarlouis is one of Ford's seven vehicle assembly plants in Europe. More than eleven million vehicles have been produced there since its opening in 1970, including the Ford Escort, Fiesta and Capri.
The new Ford Focus RS will be available in more than 20 European countries including Russia, with the UK, Switzerland and Germany expected to be the highest volume markets.
The Saarlouis team will build into the car a number of unique exterior and interior design details including new body parts to incorporate wider wheel arches and a wider track, complemented by revised, deeper side rocker mouldings and unique front and rear bumpers.
At the rear a large venturi tunnel and a dramatic rear spoiler create a purposeful look. Such is the exclusivity of the new RS, that customers will have a choice of just three expressive exterior colours: Ultimate Green, Performance Blue and Frozen White.
"We are excited that a new RS-badged Ford performance model is back in our portfolio and that production at Saarlouis is starting on schedule," said John Fleming, Ford of Europe Chairman and CEO. "We've had a huge amount of interest in this model from the loyal army of Ford RS enthusiasts as well as potential customers who have never owned an RS before. I am confident that they will fall for it the moment they get behind the wheel."

Spectators at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium for the final stage of the second leg of Wales Rally GB in December will be treated to a world-first spectacle - the driving debut of Ford’s fastest-ever European production car, the new Focus RS.
Behind the wheel of the Performance Blue machine will be a man well qualified to appreciate the Focus RS’s awe-inspiring capabilities – 'Flying Finn' Marcus Grönholm, former double World Rally Champion and ex-Ford WRC driver. But this time he won't be in competition.
The much-anticipated Focus RS, which goes on sale early in Spring next year, will take pride of place at the stadium in a cavalcade of heritage Rallye Sport (RS) cars stretching back nearly 40 years.
The new car is powered by a turbocharged Duratec 2.5-litre, five-cylinder engine. With its unique camshafts, revised cylinder head and gasket, intake and manifold system, the unit is designed to deliver 300PS and 440Nm peak torque.
Combined with a six-speed transmission, this translates to 0-62mph acceleration in under six seconds and a targeted top speed of 161mph. Yet the designers have succeeded in combining high performance with a car that is eminently practical for everyday use.
The combination of Quaife Automatic Torque Biasing limited-slip differential and innovative RevoKnuckle front-suspension system allows a class-leading balance of traction, handling and performance to be derived from front- as opposed to all-wheel drive, with consequent power-to-weight advantages.
A wider track, enhanced drive-shafts and rear anti-roll bar, revised springs and dampers, retuned steering and uprated brakes all contribute to outstanding sports handling. A specially developed version of Ford's ESP system provides added safety.
The metallic Performance Blue of the car Marcus Grönholm will drive reflects the livery of Ford's World Rally Championship Focus cars, though the RS will also be available in 'Ultimate Green' and Frozen White.
Similarly, the black twin-blade rear spoiler echoes both RS models of the past and the World Rally-winning Focus RS WRC that inspired the latest version.
The RS badge was last seen on the first-generation Focus RS in 2002. Over 38 years it has also graced Fiesta, Escort and Sierra models, as a Cardiff RS cavalcade will reflect.
The Cardiff stage of Wales Rally GB, the last round of the FIA World Rally Championship, takes place on 6 December. It looks set to attract big crowds, keen to see the much-anticipated Ford v Citroen battle at close quarters.
Until this year, Marcus Grönholm would have been a competitor. The 40-year-old driver started his rallying career in a Ford Escort in 1987, going on to win 30 world rally victories, and becoming World Champion in 2000 and 2002.
In 2006 and 2007 he drove the Ford Focus RS WRC and helped secure two world manufacturer titles for Ford before retiring from full-time competition.
