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.

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!
