Sure, but at least you don't have to use AltGr for every character that isn't an alpha-numeric. You have to be a contortionist to grab AltGr+7 ({) without using both hands, which is slow when both keys are on the same side of the keyboard.
I gave the UK layout a try by just changing the layout on my current one, and that felt really rather nice, comparatively speaking. The big problem is mental confusion when switching back and forth as I program and answer mail in Norwegian where I need my ÆØÅ.

Well it's a bit bend, but not quite 90 degrees. The factory exhaust was 2.25 bent in the same configuration. They had to route the exhaust back up and around the rear control arms, there is no other place to run it. It doesn't help that there is a cat and muffler in the system either =) You are right, they don't help, but it's 3 inches for an i4. There are V8's out there that don't run that large of an exhaust =)
Ideally I would have gone with the sidepipes, but not with a baby in the car.
Still, between the housing and exhaust I should gain 10-15 HP and 10-15 ft-lbs. I get a better spool now too and holds longer. In the higher revs I was dropping to 8-9 PSI, now it holds around 11 after the 14PSI that kicks in at around 2200. The ECU regulates the boost so HP remains fairly constant so drivability is better from day to day. If I would have gone with their single straitpipe I could see gains of almost 25HP, but need a cat for emissions, and a muffler for noise sooo....
It's a nice cheap car with a great engine. I have the ACR so I have a great suspension too, if only still cheap. Never know the difference though when you see Porshe's in your rear view mirror =) Insurance is dirt cheap too. Ideally I would have gone with something more 'advanced' but a big (for an i4) engine and struts this car is great.
Resale value is showing it too, you can't hardly get ACR's now for less than they were new and the standard SRT4's haven't dropped that much in price either.
