My M Performance exhaust arrived today. I stopped by AutoZone on the way home to borrow their exhaust cutter. I can't believe they don't charge a rental fee. Just the refundable deposit. I got home and jacked the car up and put it on jack stands and dove right in. The exhaust cutter cut the exhaust like butter. I was done with the whole swap within an hour including some adjustments. It definitely sounds more agressive. I wasn't after something too loud but instead more subtle and I think I got just that. Take a ride back to AutoZone to return the cutters and get my deposit back and enjoyed the new exhaust sound. Very different sounding for sure. Looking forward to breaking this thing in but this now has be seriously thinking about the MPPK next.
If any of you are thinking about taking this project on yourself, I would encourage you to do so. It's really easy and I am very glad I didn't pay somebody to do it for me. Granted, I am long time DIY'er but this was really simple even for somebody who hasn't much experience working on cars and it is very self gratifying.
Here are some pictures. I need to black the lower part of the rear bumper out so it looks like a diffuser. That or get the M Sport bumpers which is on my list of things to do. Vinyl wrap may have to do in the meantime which is be another project I will take on myself.
The old exhaust removed.

Great job, those CF tips look so sweet. The satisfaction of doing it yourself and enjoying the fruits of your labor
nothing like it.
The exhaust will get louder give it about 1,000 miles that packing will settle and you'll love it.
Congrats.
