What tires are you going with?
So after more talking and further review I opted for the Dunlop DZll in 205/50/15 as they are shown to be faster mounted on 8 inch rims than 225. not that I can drive that good to notice but I wanted DZll's anyway and this worked out..
Fun Video on the Tire test below..

Am curious to see if the new dp changes your exhaust sound, maybe it would be louder if you went no cat?

Yea I hear ya,I'm having a hard time deciding what to go with myself when I go to purchase one. I wish someone close to me I know has a de catted dp so I could see how bad it is. Although with my mon-fri 75-80mi round trip daily commute I think I'm just gonna go catted and call it a day. All gravy baby [drinking]

Looking forward to your take on the DP. From the picture it looks very well made.
