I don't even have the car yet, but have grown accustomed to having 4 tailpipes. Two M3s and now a GT500. If anyone knows a manufacturer who makes the rear valence which would accomodate this style of exhaust, please share.

Thanks!

I thought I saw one from one of the UK places like Puma or SiCo.
But you may need more than just the exhaust to make it fit right as the euro/row car aka 3 door ST's have different bumpers than the NA 5 door models

Nice. I do however like the look of the stock rear valence - imagine mirroring the existing pipes on the left side of the car..

I don't think they exist or would exist outside of having something custom made- dual exhausts are typical for engines with two sets of cylinder banks (with the occasional Nissan Altima sporting twin exhausts to look 'sporty') and with a turbo engine, the best way of creating a cleanly flowing exhaust system is having a single pipe... In fact, having a dual exhaust on a car like ours would actually reduce the exhaust note and potentially create more turbulence, thus less horsepower. If you heart is set on it though, I would purchase a dual exit exhaust and two resonators and have someone fab up a quad tip exhaust... if for no other reason than shits and gigs I would love to see how it turns out/sounds...

While I agree with you, it's not exclusively a twin-cylinder bank thing. Plenty of straight-six cars have rocked the dual-outlet thing.

Absolutely, BMW's have been doing it for a long time now, but IMO it's yet another styling item used nowadays to make cars seem more menacing than they really are... My wife for instance has a 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5 SL... great, comfortable car... but what purpose does it have, having a dual exhaust? The answer is none... Same with cars sporting fake rear diffusers, wings, and chin spoilers... I am sorry but it detracts from the car. *rant over*

Sorry, but the Fiesta ST punches above its weight class, so I see nothing wrong with giving it a bit of visual swagger.
