Estate art - the UK's first off-the-shelf ST220 estate system from JP Exhausts
- 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:
JP Exhausts,
Goodall Street,
Macclesfield,
Cheshire
SK11 7BD.

The government have formally responded to the "Unfair VED" petition on the 10 Downing Street website.
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."

Our Wiki has moved house to it's new address of www.FordWiki.co.uk .
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
