Defratos ISF Build

Already posted this on a separate thread, but adding it to my build thread to keep things in order.
So finally got sometime to install the Greddy Ti Exhaust.
As previously stated I had to do a slight modification to the mid pipes to include HFCs (to pass yearly MOT inspection), so I didn’t use the Greddy Ti mid-pipes, instead I had a new set made out of SS with cats and resonator.
I’ve only driven around for like 1 and half weeks and had to travel, loving it the more I drive it and reminds me of how the car used to sound with the Joe-Z Exhaust.
I was surprised to see I had a significant exhaust leak when I took of the OEM exhaust. Driver side bottom was pretty bad, and passenger side Top seems to have started to leak (below pics).
I hope this custom installation should in general give a much better compatibility between the PPE Header flanges and exhaust flanges.

Below pic of the new pipe alone:
Greddy Mid-pipes vs SS Mid-pipes
Below comparison of both mid-pipes together:
Any finally a short sound clip below:

Yes Red Leather and even Black Alcantara middle inserts became option choices in the later year models..
Definitely not found on 08' - 10' OEM specs.
Alcantara showed around 2011 and Red Leather 2012..
Available in prior years also was Alpine White and Terra cotta orange (very rare & unpopular).
White was also an option at the launch since 08'
