Hey Apokc anyway you could show me or tell me how far the tip of the exhaust sticks out past the bumper. I just want to see how far it sticks out without the GFX lip. Oh and would you happen to the know the diameter of the tip? 3.75" or 4"?

Tip is a little less than 4 inches diameter:



Got about a 1 inch gap between stock bumper hole and exhaust tip:



This shot is if I stand perfectly straight in line with the license plate:



And here's a measure of when I stand straight with the license plate:



HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

A video while driving would be cool if you have the time. I can't decide if the F Sport will be too loud inside. Not sure I can tell from a video but it would give me a better idea. I've narrowed it down to the tanabe or f sport but have never heard either in person.

hey shaun, get the f-sport. there is 0 to slight drone when u are inside the car. its one of the best exhaust u can add the car IMO.

Apok - nice work. congrats and I am sure you will enjoy the exhaust very much. you will prolly want to mash on the accelerate pedal every chance u get to hear the sweet sound from the exhaust.

It's when you install a midpipe such as Invidia that it gets TOO loud and cabin drone. Brociouz and JoshIS408 have videos on You Tube with F Sport exhaust and Invidia midpipe.

I've seen the videos with the midpipe and that is definitely too loud for my needs, haha. My only concern is that I will most likely be using the car to drive clients around when I begin doing real estate shortly. I just want to make sure the f sport won't be too loud inside for that reason.

Sorry to OP for the thread hijack. I'd definitely like the OP's opinion as well.
