UPDATE....

The exhaust is on and it sounds awesome. I am really surprised how quiet it is actually. It really under wot that you hear it the most in the cabin. under normal driving it is a little louder than factory. and for the people that said they don't have drone or very very minimal, you are correct. My only gripe is, hoe much it sticks out past the bumper..
is there any solution for that?

Yeah chop the tips off and refit them..glad ur liking it..I was surprised when i put my AE how quiet it was too..u gotta remember those turbos do a lot to muffle sound..put that same set up on an N/A car and it would sound like a frieght train.

It's tha angle of the shot, they actually sit pretty nicely centered..
It's just those damn tips that stick out too damn much..

lol... going to a exhaust shop today to have them take a look at them..
I'm not offended, that is the only thing i hate about it. I guess it's because they came off a coupe..

Took my car to a exhaust shop here in town and had them properly size the exhaust so that is doesn't stick out so damn much.. I am very pleased with the outcome..

here are a couple of pics now that it looks right...
