There should be a disclaimer whenever discussion about turning VDC off comes up.
***IF YOU'VE NEVER TURNED YOUR VDC OFF, PLEASE BE SURE YOU'RE IN A SAFE OPEN AREA WITHOUT TRAFFIC OR PEDESTRIANS WHEN TESTING YOUR CARS' PERFORMANCE WITHOUT TRACTION ASSISTANCE.
YOU WILL QUICKLY REALIZE WHAT OVER 300HP CAN DO.***

Yep.Speaking with the respected scientific method of pulling numbers out of my azz, I suspect most everyone in the chat thread is between 340 - 350 crank hp, give or take 10 hp.

Confirmation from 1CleanG (Lance) that FI will build a 2.5" cat-back to match up to the 2.25" pipe on the standard FI RHFC. The added diameter is an added cost, but reasonable.
Who wants to answer the question: why 2.5" over 2.25"? I'm thinking 2.5", but with the 18" resonator. Matched with the RHFC, I suspect that would result in a very deep, very modulated exhaust. However, I don't really know, because that's just a dumbazz opinion based on nothing except some small experience and a lot of hearsay.
Opinions?

From what I understand, 2.5" makes it a little bit louder. Plus I just wanted a bigger exhaust. Flow characteristics are probably minimal at best, unless you go forced induction.
The resonator is filled with fiberglass to dampen the tone slightly. I believe the mufflers have some fiberglass as well but I could be wrong on that. I noticed that on the sedan, the resonators on the stock Y-pipe are close to 24 inches long.
I would go 12" resonators if I were you because I think the 18's will be a little bit quiet.

John, I finally got those measurements for you on the way that the exhaust tips sit around the bumper cutouts. The top of the exhaust tip sits about 5/8" from the bumper cutout. from the left side on the left tip, it sits about 1.25" from the edge of the bumper cutout. On the right side, it's about .75" from the right edge of the bumper cutout. It's the same for the right tip, but flipped... .75" from the left and 1.25" from the right. I definitely think there is room to do those oval tips that I believe were 4.75" wide if I remember correctly.
The operant question is are they offset enough that they would fit properly within the bumper cutouts.

Rochester- i know you like the f-type a lot...but come on man. Its not a "fast" car. If you're in the relative speeds what our current cars are capable of then I'd have to disagree with you entirely with what fast might be to you.
370z can smack very similar numbers on a lap in comparison with the jag. Why people always mention 0-60 times beats me. 1/4 is the real number to look at imo and exp on the streetscoughcough.
A car like the f-type you don't quite look at what it can do in terms of performance. It can be a $100k car with a few options very easily (test drove and priced one out). A car like this you simply buy because
A: you have money to spend
B: you like how it looks/sounds
C:you don't care
Its not a bang for buck car really. But its one hell of a beauty. I'd post the pic of the red one I was in for a few hours but this post is already too long haha.
If you want to talk numbers and don't care about spending $100k+ then buy a GTR, gt3, maclaren, etc. Or, buy an EVO and dump some money inside and make it a legit track/ ferrari killer huehuehue.

So as I have said a while back when I got my exhaust installed, I mentioned that I would post a video, took me a while I know, but finally I got around to do it and in all honesty, when my brother drove it when I was recording it, the look on my face was like this 
and this 
that pop when upshifted to 3rd though
All in all, I am very happy with the choice and route I went
