One possibility would be to find a used Fiesta ST exhaust. You could join the ST forum and see if someone will sell you one. https://www.fiestastforum.com/ There's a "Want to buy" section in the classifieds.
Is your car a hatchback? It would fit. I imagine you could get it to fit a sedan, too, but I don't work at a muffler shop.
You could also just replace the muffler with something louder. Maybe just a resonator delete would be enough.

For the intake, K&N sells a drop-in panel filter. You'll get a little more sound, but not much.

There's just no aftermarket performance stuff for the base engine. The ST gets all kinds of performance goodies, but no tuner has done anything for the poor SE. I would think that if a tuner could get 10 or 15 more hp out of the base engine, they'd sell a lot of tunes, but there's already a performance model for people who want a faster small car.

Yeah not much to make this thing go faster, but it is pretty peppy and fun to drive. You can do some suspension upgrades so you have to lift less for corners...which to me is the fun part.

Thank you for the input hopefully I can change the sound a little bit I will keep you guys updated

There's always a hacksaw just before the rear wheel, have the muffler shop put a pipe out the side just in front of the right-rear wheel. BAAAAHHHWWWWWAAAAHHHHHHHH!

While this is all true, I'd start with a resonator delete.
Drive it for a while, and see if that works. If it causes some unpleasant drone, put the resonator back, and try some muffler or other.
The base 1.6 has a compression ratio of 11:1, so it won't sound ratty. You want a deep tone that doesn't cause drone when you're cruising.
What that would be, I don't know. It should sound like this: FF to 5:13.

FF to 5:13.

Go to youtube and search "Exhaust addicts". They don't show the installs. But, they do demonstrate the sound from two fiesta muffler installs. Both standing at the rear bumper and drive away sounds. They also had a Db meter on the hoist for noise measurement.
I would post a link but it's not working through my phone.
Conclusion i saw was definitely DON'T DELETE the RESONATOR

Ooh, that looks fun!

No resonator. Fart can.

Flowmaster

Videos don't tell the whole story, but I like the first one best. Keep the resonator, get that muffler welded on.

The silver Fiesta had the best tone, to my ears anyways. The yellow one with the resonator delete and what was really just a resonator tip was pretty harsh. I am not so sure that the yellow car would pass the sound level check at an SCCA autocross event.

Delete means to remove. Here, it means removing the resonator and replacing it with a straight pipe. The yellow Fiesta had that, and it sounds too loud to me.

That looks like the hot setup. BTW, I'll be selling mine sometime this spring. Just ordered one of these:

If you don't want to do the drop in air filter, I recently put in the r2c intake and it sounds really good from the front. Pair it with a nice exhaust and it'll sound so nice.
