you would either have to buy the ecoboost fenders in your color or find someone wiling to trade and rear decklid would be buying a badgeless one like from MMD
I wish I could have done the install myself, just did not have the time to spend doing it myself...more specifically, I only had my car and needed to be able to drive it to pick up my kids from school, etc....so I had to rent a car and have mine installed at a shop so my car wouldnt be out of...
Absolutely, power and torque is better throughout the rpm band..I would rather spend the money on the lth than $1300 for a catback exhaust that maybe..just maybe, gets 5 peak horsepower...with my discount i spent only a few bucks more for the lth and enjoying the boost in torque and horsepower...
I am definitely getting a cat-back someday, just wanted the benefit of the power increase with the headers first, then get the catback..the cost of the longtubes was the same as a good catback so might as well get more power first!
Brothers performance has a dyno and coffee event that I plan on going to soon so I can throw mine on the dyno and see what it makes. I will post the graph once I get it. ---it will be with stock cat back and lth with no cats, intake and tune.
Took them a day and a half because I drove the car in so they had to let it cool off for a few hours. Rather not discuss price because too many keyboard warriors will chime in saying their buddy's third cousin could have done it for "x" amount of dollars and I got ripped off blah blah...
Got my car back yesterday with the 1 7/8" ARH with the stock catback. At idle is sounds completely stock and does so up to around 4k, then it gets noticeably louder but still very quiet compared to Corsa's.
Here is a link to a video with my car once installed, skip to 3:45 for the revs

The only time I have seen the exhaust get on the tinny side was a combination of longtubes and x or h pipe and the stock mufflers.
My thought process was to get longtubes first and enjoy the slightly deeper sound and the increase in power until I can save up enough again for the catback to...
I had VMP Performance do the install. Normally I would have tried to tackle it myself but I heard horror stories about the AC line of the back of the compressor being an issue with the install. So I bit the bullet and paid to have them installed by someone with more experience.
I got a decent...
I am currently having long tubes with no cats installed and will be running the stock exhaust. I will pick my car up tomorrow and will let you know how loud. There are a few threads on the forum of other members who have run the stock exhaust with long tubes. I went with American Racing Headers...
You can check out the FIRM, its not too far from Jacksonville/St Aug and they usually have open track days for all levels of experience. Its about the best we have in Florida is going to a track for a trackday activity. The only downside is you have to pay to play...bummer
