The exhaust doesn't sound too different, or different at all honestly, but I can try to find a way to mount my phone and get a little driving video soon.
Messing with the exhaust did introduce a weird vibration on deceleration, it's like the overrun vibrations of the engine are being sent straight to the cabin, making it feel like you're driving on a rough road. According to the internet these are very particular about how you cinch down the exhaust, and I tried to sneak around using an expensive OEM clamp, so I need to get back down there and sort that out once the correct clamp comes in.
And thanks re: console, it makes a huge difference in how "premium" the car feels when you're sitting in it.
One thing I really need to figure out is phone storage. The cubby in front of the shifter is too small and the ashtray completely useless. A little pocket to drop it in on the passenger's side of the console would do the trick.
