For those interested in hearing the PTS/Joe Z exhaust from my car here is the video. The video is broken up into 3 sections. First, you will hear the stock exhaust for that starting point. Then for those looking for a axle back section only for a less aggressive alternative or AWD. Finally, the full cat back exhaust, which is my choice...
Special thanks to Joe Z

First you will hear the stock exhaust
then
Axle back

Full exhaust

CBS is by far the best... Sounds like it's talking to you.

I was stoked on how it turned out. It completely changed how the engine compartment looks

What's the process for painting the bumper? Did they just mask, sand and spray? Or was the entire bumper redone?

The hole bumper had to be redone. You have to R&I the bumper sand complete, mask, lay your first color, then mask off that color & repeat. I also had them triple clear everything. So, you cannot feel any lines. I also painted the upper and lower grills to match
