Just in time for summer! Delay is a bummer, same with mine - 2 month delay was excruciating while it sat in a rail yard outside Chicago for four weeks. Hang in there.
Oddly enough just loaded up the tracking site and my car that had disappeared off of it for a few days reappeared as "on site". Called dealer and they don't have it yet but believe that it's in state. Hoping tomorrow or Saturday at the latest.

Yeah, it's best to get it now, TBH, as you will have nice weather and not have to throw on or even think about winter tires, cold temps, etc. Nice weather makes it easier to evaluate the car's dynamics, tires, suspension, etc., and gives you time to think about any mods while breaking it in.

I ended up deleting the large res and keeping everything else as is and it turned out perfect.

Just the right amount of volume imo.
Will post some sound clips later.

@tezzasaurusrex Thanks for sharing. I'm interested in making the exhaust slightly louder, but not too crazy loud. I had a Milltek non-resonated exhaust on my FK8 with a catted PRL DP, and it was too loud. Deleting the middle resonator may hit the sweet spot, in my opinion.

After having driven without the one resonator for a bit longer now, would you still recommend it? If you have any additional videos to share, please do (I enjoyed the two that you already shared). How much louder is it inside the cabin?

I was a little worried about drone on the freeway and that I might have to put the fuse back in to manage it but those worries disappeared as soon as I got up to speed. Just did a 6.5hr drive to another state and suffered zero moments of drone or irritation from the mod. All in all, I love it, and recommend it to anyone thinking about it. 👌
