First of all a big shout out to Stu@BMRAutowerkes for the sale and great support, as well as Justin, Al and Jay from Midas Tingalpa for the quality installation.
The stock system has a thoughtfully placed dimple (circled in the first pic) for where to cut. Jay at Midas then trimmed and cleaned the cut before fitting the new auspuff.
The clamp provided is a good piece of gear, securely locking the two sections together. If ever you wanted, it's constructed in a way that you could reinstall the stock exhaust very easily.
Finally, some pics of the fitted gear. The beveled edges on the tips are very attractive!
The burble between gear shifts is horribly addictive, and best of all when you're cruising in 8th on the highway the exhaust is barely noticeable.
This really is the perfect exhaust for what I was looking for - great sporty quality when you're on the loud peddle and blends into the background if you're driving more sedately. I'm looking forward to the note settling down when it beds in over time.
