So the actual shipped cost was $670, and then after the rebate comes back your effective cost would be $595?!

Sounds like I have a phone call to make.

God help the uninformed buyers of the world..

You actually do need the m perf diffuser if you don't want to burn the stock...

Not true at all.

Talked to my dealer today and looks like I can buy the products through my dealer, have them install them, and still be able to residualize them through my lease which is good.

Apparently not all the parts I want qualify towards the gift card program like the Carbon Fiber Exhaust tips.

I have m performance exhaust installed with a stock diffuser and stock tips.

They stick out past the diffuser. I'm pretty sure M Perf Diffuser sticks out FARTHER than stock.

Are the M Performance Exhaust tips shorter in length to prevent that from happening?

So apparently the carbon fiber exhaust tips aren't even listed on the paperwork you submit for the gift cards? Is it possible the carbon fiber exahaust tips don't qualify for the discount?

Yeah its only whats listed on there that qualifies, the LSD that just got delivered wasn't covered.

Pretty sure they're very close to same length just larger diameter.

Point I was trying to make is you ARE able to have m perf exhaust and stock diffuser.

How much did people pay to have their exhaust installed? My local dealer said 700$ out the door for exhaust and spoiler. That seems really steep to me.

Shouldn't cost more than $100 for exhaust, and 30 min time if they have a lift.

I did the spoiler myself when my car was 2-3 months old and removing the adhesive was a complete pain in the ass. I wouldn't pay someone more than $100 to do the spoiler though.

I wouldn't mind doing it myself, and I've done exhaust a couple
Of times on different cars, but there's something about my first 50k car that makes me not want to do it myself.

the rebate is based on the MSRP of the parts , not based on what you paid for you. Basically, you can qualify for more rebate amount back since MSRP is higher than what you paid for it.
