Awesome dude...you're gonna love it...
I see that you got the 2nd gen like me too...just the plain tube type tip...which I find looks rather tastefull...only thing that sux about it, is that it get's dirty really easy in winter weather...but with some WD40 and a rag, she's all polished in only a minute...
The most obvious difference will be when you start the car for the first time, when the engine is cool or cold, and the fast-idle engages at first...but then when it goes down to 800-850rpm, you won't even notice that the car has an aftermarket exhaust...that is, until you start driving...it's fairly loud when accelerating slowly/gently, but under hard throttle, it's not much louder than stock...especially above 4000.
Next difference you'll notice is that your car IS going to be faster and more responsive...I don't doubt the power gains claimed by MBRP or FJ at all. You're gonna use 1st and 2nd gear faster, and the car is going to be mildly quicker accelerating at highway speed. Also, when accelerating normally in the city, roll down the glass and listen...sounds like you have a straight 6 in the car and not the zetec...lol...oh yeah, and you're gonna notice the lack of buzzing or popping or "farting" sounds that Universal exhausts have...
Glad you got an MBRP, only problem is, what's gonna happen if everyone get's one? Gonna be hard to stand out! lol!
