I don't know if it is the angle on your video but it looks like stock. Is that really the case ?
Did you specifically ask for a stock like alingment ? I wonder if that is possible.

Th pipes themselves are the same diameter as the Stock items, only difference there is the tips are straight cut and not rolled. As with the stock exhaust it does sit a little low for the cut outs but I'm working on a solution for that. As for the way mine sits in regards to your comment they stick out a little further than standard but not too much.

It is loud without being offensive. Sounds bad in the video but I am in a built up area and floored it in 1st which for some reason sounds different than every other gear. This exhaust does slightly improve BHP and throttle response but not 18 BHP's worth. I'm guessing that was a quote from the manufacturer which I'd take with a fairly large pinch of salt. No offense meant but I've been tuning cars for quite some time now and have never seen gains like that from a back box alone unless combined with an Induction kit or cat delete IMHO.
Who knows though, it may be correct. My MPG has gone down slightly but that's most likely due to my driving now there's some bark to it
