I, too, am a longtime fan of manual...until I drove the DCT

Since my dealer didn't have any manuals on hand, I too drove the DCT version. Honestly, it left me feeling a bit hollow. Sure it shifted really fast and the rev-matching was cool, and I know that paddles and the DCT is faster-shifting than a manual, but there's something about the 'snick-snick' of shifting a manual that just does it for me. I live in a big city and the traffic sucks but honestly I hate automatics. I guess it's just the fact that I've been driving manual cars for 16 years. I actually double-clutch rev-match, so I think that's a little easier on the syncro's.
My car is supposed to arrive on the 24th this month, so I'm excited!
Can anyone tell me about the "performance exhaust" option? Is this the same exhaust that the 135is gets at port?
