Ok. So today was the first day I've put on the new exhaust. Drove in both city and highway conditions with some spirited and normal driving. I'm really pleased with this set up so far. For normal driving conditions, it’s not at all intrusive or so loud I have to turn up the stereo. I'm thinking the ECU has not really adjusted yet, but so far really nice. When I get above about 3500 RPMs it starts to sound better than stock and the higher I go the better it is, but not so abusive that it's annoying; exactly what I wanted. I'm still working on the DIY install content and the sound clips, but I'll post them as soon as I can. Work is a little busy right now. Really like the look and the sound for the daily driver. If I'm sitting idle and or at low city speeds/rpms, almost sounds stock but enough of a hint that there is more..(and then when you romp on it, the beast unleashes).Very pleased. I'll keep you posted
As far as performance gains, I'm not going to dyno it unless someone offers it up for free, but the entire seat of the pants driving experience seems to have woken up. The car seems to excellerate a little better and a little harder. Keep in mind that this IS my daily driver and I'm very familiar with how the car runs, so I'd say it feels like it pulls a little stronger or "less restricted" if that makes any sense. I'll try to grab some video on the way home tonight to post.
