Mines a 2020 pre LCI but I believe they are the same. I'm sure I'll get corrected if not.

Here are pics of the piece cut out with both resonators and the custom section I had put in. Bang for buck the best thing you can do to these cars

Each to their own. I like how it sounds now. Remember there is a big difference to how a car sounds on the move compared to just sitting there revving it. The pops and bangs are far more pronounced in this video because of it. On the roll it sounds great

X-pipe or straight through will give different sounds from what i gather. I think I prefer straight through from videos but doing x-pipe as less chance of drone and better scavenging which may improve power.

Materials came in for Dinan and their X pipe is finally shipping! After my November 2020 purchase! Can. Not. Wait. Any advice for installing it?
I bought a hand pipe cutter (the one you squeeze and rotate etc.) as I want a nice clean cut, hopefully it doesn’t take forever.

Technically very easy to install. But the stock pipes are heavy and a beast work with. Especially if you are your back under the car. Keep the exhaust well supported as you try to remove the stock or install the new otherwise it binds. Need to make sure the new pipe is perfectly level and straight and all joints are snug. There is minimal clearance between the pipe and various protective shields. May take a series of check, adjust and check again. Also the Dinan X-pipeline comes in box the size of a coffin. So if you are trying to hide this purchase from your wife you need to plan accordingly.

Remus system came in and I love it, though the cold start is slightly louder than I hoped for, otherwise perfect.

Here's a picture of the stock exhaust down off my car so you can see the full 2021 stock system for cutting resonators out

For sure - can't upload the videos direct to forums, but I tried putting a shared google album here:

If that doesn't work, PM me and I'm happy to send them to you directly.

I canceled my Dinan order. Went with GThaus because it was in stock and shipped fast. Sounds great and looks even better

I'm not a fan of resonator delete, but to each his own.
