Borla UEL and Motiv OP installed
 
My goodness, that sound! I can see my gas mileage going down now. ;)
Install was straight forward with jacks stands. Make sure you have 2 people to help with the install. Thanks to SmsAlSuwaidi and Neekowahhhh had a blast.

Current exhaust setup was stock except for Perrin cat-back 2.5 resonated. I also have a stage 2 FA20Club Tune and a aFe Intake. The best way to describe the car with the new header and OP is very much the same way when you get the car stock and then get a good solid tune. Entire rev band feels better with more power/TQ and it pulls smoother. I can't wait to get some logs and get my tune updated with more aggressive timings etc... I will be replacing the front pipe down the line with a motiv catted front. Had so much fine driving a local twisty road last night with 2 other members. The car just has this intoxicating sound when running in the higher rev band. I will try and get some videos and in cabin recordings.

No. Plenty of clearance too! No rattling of any kind.

I've been planning to do the OP also, but I've heard you got to lift up part of the engine mount for enough clearance, was this the case? or did you somehow slip the OP through?

We did not lift the engine block on the passenger side. It took some figuring out, but we were able to get it in.
