Sound of Power!
Fast Ford|May 2017

Jamie treats the RS to a mountune axle-back exhaust upgrade...and he loves it!

Sound of Power!

Last month the RS had its first ever oil change, and with fresh fluids and an updated PCM it was ready for action once again. And my first port of call was legendary Ford tuners, mountune. Back at the end of last summer I was lucky enough to test drive their M380 demo car – I loved the car so much that I immediately had the M380 upgrade fitted to my RS! But one other thing that I loved about that demo car was the axle-back exhaust upgrade it sported. Ever since I’ve wanted one for my car, and now I’ve got one!

On start up it immediately sounds angry – like you’ve just punched a sleeping bear in the face! It growls and sneers, and sounds bloody aggressive! Perfect for an RS then!

Even in Normal mode it’s more aggressive with the axle-back fitted, giving a nice bark when you blip the throttle and more of those infamous pops and snaps on lift-off too.

But flick the RS into Sport mode and the car is transformed – especially with the revised ‘M380 + exhaust’ calibration installed!

Immediately the growl at tickover intensifies! Now it sounds like that bear you punched in the face has just caught you sleeping with his missus too! Give the throttle a blip and the whole thing crackles and bangs like a tuned fast Ford should!
