Reviews make the sound of the trd exhaust sound good but no cabin sound but I dont like the tips

What do you think?
Congrats Maybe you'll get yours fast relative to your order being in BC.

I got the TRD exhaust for mine and I personally like the sound. It doesn't drone in the car and is subdued, but when you rev it up it has a nice clean exhaust note. I chose it after hearing it on a test car at the dealer.

Was it the JDM TRD Exhaust, which are quad pipes or the TRD USA Version, halfmoon tips?

USDM half-moon pipes, nothing too fancy. Though I am getting the JDM TRD lip spoiler

A lot of people from the dealer commented positively on my monogram too. The package really makes the car look more upscale, especially right next to a base model.

He was referring to the JDM exhaust hence why I said he needs the cutouts...

Highly doubt it. There are still plenty of 10 Series hanging around. Some dealers haven't even got their allocations yet.

Sorry didn't see who you were quoting, so I didn't know the context nor was there was there previous talk about cutouts on that thread page so I wanted to clarify not confuse some people.

After a month's wait my Monogram finally arrived!


Ultramarine is a great color! Looks especially good in my driveway!


I'll post more pictures once I get the car detailed and opti-coat professionally applied this weekend.

Congratulations! It looks gorgeous in ultramarine, wish they had it available up north. Have fun with the new ride!

Can you or someone else get a night interior shot with dash and switches? That would look sweet

Not exactly. The standard FR-S has orange clock and hvac, where the Monogram is more the same red as the cluster.
