I was able to get a short video comparing the two exhaust at start up. In the next few days I hope to get more which will include pulling off and a short drive.
Thanks again RPI!!!! The wait was worth it!

Oh yeah, no dyno, but I DO NOTICE power increase. I haven't really launched her yet, but I feel a bigger jump when I take off from a stand still. I want to find a nice place where I can try a launches. Not really sure how to do a good one, but I heard I need to disable the DTS; do I need to hold in the brakes???
Also, I have had several chances to floor it on the highway. Going from 80 mph to 100+ much faster than ever before. My car pulls much stronger now. Last night a new V6 Accord was trying to keep pace with me until to unleashed on him - LOL. He flickered his lights at me a couple times. I would like to believe it was his way of saying - "Damn your car is fast" instead of "You F'ing BMW A-hole" LOL. I seem to have lots of New Accords trying me - go figure!!!
I actually drive more with the radio off just so I can enjoy the exhaust.
