I agree, it's different, but still I'd go back to a full exhaust.

And stop smoking menthol cigs, they're bad for you lol. Non- menthol are OK yet.

Good to hear, and maybe take some pics of the strut tower repair. I'm thinking of tackling this on mine but don't know if it's worth it yet. Mine is to far gone .
