We're all close, but no two are identical. However, I will forever yield to your ears over mine. If you drive my car and say, "That right there, you hear that, John? That's rasp." - then I'll totally believe you. But only because I'm half deaf and you're an OCD freak about pin-pointing not-right noises.
It's a gift, man.

Not quite. Twin has FI's resonated cats, and his pipes are 2.5"... but he configured them without resonators, whereas I had them build it with 18" resonators. Mine is closer to Choman's... who has the same cats and in-line 18" resonators, but with 2.25" pipes. And his car is tuned.

Nope. Not according to his sig-line. Ah, here we are:

Rochester, do you or anyone else have a side shot of the exhaust? Maybe with the camera about the same level as the tips. I'd like to see how far they protrude. The stock tips aren't out far enough for me. I'd like them even or slightly past the cutout in the bumper. My stock ones are a good 2 inches shy of the lip on the cutout. And I'm assuming there's no adjustments in the system to play with that position??

I was worried about protruding too far with these tips from FI, but I think they're the perfect length. I'll take pics tomorrow for you. If I forget, PM me. All along, I kept saying I might replace them at some point, but honestly... now that I have the exhaust, I'm super impressed with how they look. I think they're great.
Keepers.

Crazy to think how long it took you to decide and pull the trigger on an exhaust but my hat goes off to you for searching and researching every little thing about a product before installing. After I got on this site and read a bunch of your posts....I catch myself analyzing things ALOT before pulling the trigger on them.
Love the look of the FI and sound.....makes me want to try my hand at HFC's again

The original plan was rear gears before catback, but I had to have some noise. And you're right... I started researching even before buying the car. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have purchased exactly the car I wanted to mod. Three years later, I'm still on-track with plans and enjoying it immensely.

A picture is worth a 1000 words - the fitment is spot on.
This may be an odd observance but I like how each crease in the exhaust matches with a crease in the bumper, if that makes any sense at all. Such as the end of the muffler with the end of your vinyl diffuser. The beginning and end of the exhaust tip with the ends of the exhaust cutout. lol
It flows very well.

+1 on the Eagle One Never Dull stuff. Cleaned mine earlier this week after not doing it since the fall, except for washes. Brings them back to brand new looking.
Props for a nice pic of the fitment to the bumper. I never got down to view mine from that angle and now I know what it looks like.
