Default GS-F Rear end conversion on 14 F-Sport (pic)

Ever since I got my car, I didn't like the fake chrome exhaust tip on the back.

Thanks to biggame, I finally be able to convert my rear end with something unique & authentic.

What do you guys think?

You do need GSF bumper, lower valance, LT & RT valance extn, LT & RT moldings.

As far as the exhaust set up, you need the mufflers, 4 tips, and 2 GSF hanger brackets.

You also need to modify the rear floor(spare tire carrier) to fit the muffler.

Great conversion - I really like how clean and OEM it all looks

Couple of questions:
1) Did switching the mufflers to the GS F mufflers cause any issues with error codes/sensors/computer or was it just a simple swap?
2) Any extra power and sound difference with the GS F mufflers?

1) No issue on error code what so ever.
2) Can't feel the extra power but it does have deep low tone compares to the stock ones.

Driver side muffler fits just fine, but the passenger side muffler does not have enough room to fit in without adjustment.

LT side of muffler is touching the floor, so I had to push in the floor to fit the muffler.

Picture of RT side muffler without adjustment
