Product Description

The Ford Racing M-5230-FSH is a Ford Performance axle-back exhaust system for 2012-2018 Ford Focus hatchback models. It replaces the rear section of the factory exhaust to give the car a more aggressive exhaust note while keeping the installation focused on the back half of the system. This kit is intended for hatchback applications only and should not be assigned to sedan models.

Verified Ford Performance and Summit Racing source data confirm hatchback-only fitment and the important installation note that the factory pipe must be cut to install this clamp-on exhaust. Trusted source data also specifically notes compatibility with hatchback models equipped with PZEV emissions equipment, so that manufacturer note is preserved here because it directly affects fitment and installation planning.

This is not a lift or lowering component, so no lift or drop height applies. Because this part affects the exhaust system, the emissions-related fitment note is included exactly where it was confirmed by trusted sources.
