I'm in Cali otherwise I would have taken your offer for a ride. How bad is the fumes smell? And how come it comes inside the car? Isn't the exhaust sealed and come out of the tail pipes? Sorry for all the questions.

Take a listen to the two videos on the first page. They're both with stock DPs. Whether you plan to equip aftermarket DPs or not will have an influence on which configuration you run. You can always get a conversion kit later as well.

No worries! The non-res version weighs just a hair more than stock at 76lbs, and resonated version at 79 given the resonators, among other aspects like larger diameter/thicker tubing, muffler internals, etc.

Come listen to mine I'm local enough and live in Marina Del Rey. Irvine isn't too far. I've had the exhaust for more than 10K miles now - so definitely broken in and you'll see how the exhaust performs and sounds on different settings. pm me.
