Default Upgrading to F-Sport Exhaust

After finally getting F-Sport springs and the F-Sport Intake, I now want to get an F-Sport Exhaust. Before I buy it I was hoping maybe some of you guys who own one, can help me answer my questions. 1. Will the F-Sport exhaust be lighter than the stock exhaust? 2. Will the tips be more visible/pop out more? 3.Can I install it at home with jacks?

"Weight savings is not something you should make or break your decision. Most of the aftermarket exhaust will be lighter than stock. That being said, it never hurts to shed some weight on your car. Stock weight of the axle back part of the 2IS = 39lbs. The mid to front section weighs another 28lbs, making the total stock exhaust = 67lbs. " - Official Exhaust Thread. The tips will be more visible and pop out more because they are bigger in general. You can install the exhaust yourself, it's one of the easiest DIYs but you might want a friend to help if you have trouble lifting the exhaust.

Thanks! Yeah, I'm mostly asking about the weight since I want it to be lighter not heavier. Do you by chance about how many lbs the F-Sport exhaust is?

1. Will the F-Sport exhaust be lighter than the stock exhaust?
- Not sure about weight but the stock axle-back is one piece compared to the 3 piece Fsport exhaust. (easier to transport)

2. Will the tips be more visible/pop out more?
- Yes. A rear lip would also compliment it nicely.

3. Can I install it at home with jacks?
- Yes. Remember to use some WD40 for stubborn bolts!

You don't need any extra help cause it's quite easy. Just remember to install the hanger on the tip first before the middle hanger.
I only need about 15 mins to complete the job!!!
