Wow!
First the weight difference. Gotta be 20-25lbs. Second sounds great. Third I think this is what the car needed. I have a JB4 and this mid pipe really woke it up. Seat of the pants meter is like 30-40hp. Responsive and torquey too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnArbN1Q4ag Fitment was spot on. Pretty easy to install. Only gripe and it seems to be pretty common with some of the more cost effective solutions is no instructions, parts list or links to pdfs or videos. I heard about cutting at the dimples. Well there is one spot with one dimple and one with two. Cut first at the one since it was less pipe removed. Then mocked it up and realized it needed to be cut at the two dimples, about 2 inches. That was perfect.

Open valves a bit more noise at cruise. No drone. More burble on lift. WOT roars a bit now.

Did you take this pic halfway through your Ohlins install?

You probably can't use a chain cutter with stainless pipe. I dropped the whole exhaust. It takes like 10-15 min to drop. You need two people though cuz it's pretty heavy.

EngineerTheVoid & GenXG87 - How low does the main pipe hang coming off the downpipes prior to the bracket on your install?
Seems lower than I expected on my install. |

How's the JB4 been on the G87? What settings have you been running? Lowkey interested in getting one for my car sometime in the future

However, on a road course it's not ideal. The main issue is that it will kick-in at a certain throttle %. This can cause some issues since throttle modulation needs to be consistent. So I set it to map 0 (stock) on a road course. On the street I run map 2 on 93 and the car is a blast.
