Yeah, should just be the stock Performance Pack splitter. Looks just like mine.

Awesome Ride... I have been on the forums for a while and have followed your build. It's hard to ignore :-)..... I am in the process of purchasing a 2016 GT DIB....Had a couple of questions for you.... I think your interior is the dark saddle from what I can see, how do you like it and has it held up well? Also.. One of the first mods I am thinking about is getting the Borla sport exhaust ... are you happy with it and do you know if there is any difference between the Borla Sport exchaust sold directly from Borla via American Muscle, etc... vs the Ford Performance branded unit?

Appreciate it! Congrats on the '16!

My interior is actually Redline. I have seen Dark Saddle on DIB and it's a different look, but I can appreciate it. The leather will hold up just as well as you maintain it.

Exhaust is subjective. I had the FRPP by Borla Sport Catback and was very happy with it. It sounds great, has plenty of volume, had OEM fit and finish, and no drone. I made a switch to the Corsa Extreme Catback after a little while as I had always want to run Corsa exhaust. My expectations were exceeded by the guys at Corsa!

Reach out to your favorite vendor here on the site for pricing on either kit. Hypermotive and American Muscle have been my go-to's for the exhaust and much more.

Thanks for the reply! I can really appreciate the redline interior as well. I have found that depending upon the lighting and time or day the dark saddle can look reddish and very close to the redline interior..in fact when I first contacted the dealership I had to get them to clarify if it was indeed the dark saddle vs redline.. he said me another pic and it looked totally different with more of the brown....Can I ask what the biggest difference was between the Corsa and the Borla? Is is sound/tone? Just wondering why you made the switch because Corsa keeps coming up in conversations I have with resellers as well....

I have the Corsa Xtreme so I can give my thoughts. The build quality is second to none. All handmade in the USA. Fitment is perfect and the sound is the best I have ever heard on the S550 platform!
