They also really appreciated the clamp on tips compared to past dinan designs with welded tips, which help alignment. All together it took about 1.5 - 2 hours for install.
The sound is great. Not obnoxiously loud in sport +, but much improved tone over stock. At idle, you get a nice burble now. At low RPM, I can now hear the turbo's exhaust wheel spool up which is exactly what I was hoping for. Guessing that has to do with the resonator delete and the x pipe. Crackles are louder. They go right away when you close the valves.
In economy mode, it quiets right down. Still has an improved tone but won't wake the neighbors when I come home late at night.
Aesthetically it's a huge improvement over the stock ballsack. I was never too critical of the stock muffler but I don't miss it!
I recommend this exhaust for anyone who isn't looking for the loudest one on the block. It will keep your cars refinement and you won't have to worry about downgrading to aftermarket parts with questionable fit.
Nice job Dinan engineers, I think you nailed it.

Looks awesome and nice write up. Mine is on back ordered until 6/8. I'm getting the polished tips instead
