The super-saloon, widely regarded as one of the finest cars ever made, has been out of production for over a decade now, a fact Milltek says will mean attentive owners will be considering a replacement for the aging OEM exhaust.

Milltek has released a new range of exhaust options for the tuner’s latest favourite; the Ford Fiesta 1.6 EcoBoost.

That fact, combined with the company’s knowledge of all Ford powerplants, has reportedly paid dividends. The result? The design of the ST exhaust is said to offer power and torque gains, with a thoroughly ‘grown-up’ soundtrack.
