The Ford Focus ST is already an exciting hot hatch from the factory, but with a little tuning from LIFE MOTORSPORTS the fun increases a little more. The main goal of the change to the vehicle from the video was the programming of the so-called Pops & Bangs feature, which in combination with the standard exhaust system creates an acoustic spectacle. The Pops & Bangs upgrade was specifically carried out by LIFE MOTORSPORT and is designed to only function under optimal conditions. This means it only becomes active when the motor and the probes Operating temperature achieved. During programming, when you release the accelerator, the ignition is briefly interrupted while fuel continues to be injected. The fuel then burns in the exhaust tract or in the hot turbo, which is the characteristic Plob generated.

What is amazing is that the modification in combination with the standard exhaust system of the Focus ST. The result is a clearly audible difference, which is unexpected for a vehicle with a standard exhaust. The combination of the Focus ST engine and LIFE MOTORSPORT tuning creates a sportier driving experience. Although not carried out on the specific vehicle, LIFE MOTORSPORT also offers one Chip tuning performance improvement for the Ford Focus ST. This can be considered in addition to acoustic adjustments to increase performance.
