The Ford Fiesta ST MK8 exhaust in detail.
With the MK8 generation, from 2018 to 2023, the Fiesta ST moved to 200 hp and 290 Nm, then 320 Nm from the 2022 facelift, still powered by a turbocharged EcoBoost engine known for its instant response. Ford made it one of the most popular small hot hatches in its class, but its factory exhaust is tuned for regulations far more than for enjoyment.
With the valves open, the Rog valved cat-back gives it an assertive sporty tone, an audible turbo under load and crackles on the overrun; once the valves are closed again, the ST MK8 becomes a discreet city car again. For an MK7, refer to the other Fiesta ST page, as the parts differ; in every case, your VIN is checked before the system is built.
The system is fitted without welding, using clamps and gaskets, in about two hours, and the valves stay controlled by the factory control if the car has one, otherwise by the two-button Rog remote.
The “Manifold” option sells the MK8’s downpipe, which carries the catalytic converter. As long as the MK8’s map stays stock, this part only adds sound and a little lightness; remapped, the ST draws power from it depending on the tune chosen. For a 200 hp supermini driven every day, the 200-cell version keeps emissions control, the 100-cell will be accepted or not depending on the car and the rules in your country, and the decat remains reserved for track use. 304 stainless steel or titanium, around 40% lighter, complete the choice.

Questions about the Ford Fiesta ST MK8 exhaust.
Do the Fiesta ST MK8 parts fit a standard MK7 ST?
No, the 2013 to 2017 MK7 has separate parts and a separate page; this one covers the 2018 to 2023 MK8, with a VIN check before manufacturing.
Is an ECU remap needed to enjoy the system on a Fiesta ST MK8?
For the sound, none: the cat-back gets along with the factory ECU; for power, it is the downpipe combined with an ECU remap at an approved tuner that makes the difference, depending on the tuning.
Fiesta ST MK8 with a Rog system: what should I do before the vehicle inspection?
Close the valves and keep the original or 200-cell downpipe, for active emissions control and a stock voice. An ST MK8 with a 100-cell will depend on your country’s assessment, and a decat ST never leaves the track.
For everyday city use, does the Fiesta ST MK8 with a Rog system stay discreet?
Yes: with the valves closed, it keeps its original discretion in town and on the motorway. You open them for a road that suits, at the press of a button.
Fiesta ST MK8 three-door or five-door: is the system the same?
Yes. The three-door and the five-door take the same Rog system: same chassis, same 1.5 EcoBoost, same clamp-and-gasket fitting. Your VIN is only used to confirm the version and model year before manufacturing.
Ford Fiesta ST MK8: Does a valved exhaust system drone?
No. With the valves closed, the gases flow through the whole rear silencer and the cabin stays calm at a steady speed. Our Rog exhausts are designed to avoid drone. Learn more: Why our systems stay calm on the motorway.

The MOT and your exhaust
At the MOT, exhaust noise is judged by ear, with no sound meter: valves closed, your car sounds very close to stock. A cat-back leaves your factory cat and sensors untouched, a 200-cell sports cat keeps emissions control, and the MOT tester decides.
On the road
Valves closed around town, your car sounds very close to stock, and you open them whenever you like. Where councils use noise cameras, they target behaviour such as revving and racing.
Your documents
Each system is built from the VIN on your V5C, and an exhaust isn't one of the changes you record on it. We send the technical documentation free on request, for the MOT or for your insurer.
Your insurance
Insurers usually want to know about modifications, so let yours know: our free technical documentation makes it easy.
