MPBK and AC Schnitzer exhaust installed on my 50i

Happy to report that I have had the M performance brakes kit and the AC Schnitzer exhaust installed. The brakes w coding and proper bedding feel fantastic. A definite improvement over stock. The brake firmness should actually get better after some more driving. I did about 10-12 runs of 60mph braking fairly hard to 20mph w/o stopping, then driving in circles w/o using brakes to cool down rotors. I obviously did this in a controlled environment (Floyd Bennett Field, for the nyc guys) Brake material is evenly coated on all rotors.
The exhaust sounds great. There is no drone, and at idle it's not loud. A nice gurgle at idle, under acceleration this thing sounds pretty Damn good. All in all, I'm very happy w both mods.
Thanks to Alan l. and r33_RGSport for answering my questions and for getting me a good price on exhaust.

Here's some brake pics, I'll try and get video /pics of exhaust, weather permitting tomorrow
