The factory exhaust is not put together like the aftermarket cat-back systems are it is only bolted on at the flex pipe the rest is fully welded and installed before the rear sub-frame is installed at the factory, so therefore the only way to remove it is cut it or drop the rear sub-frame.
You could always get your factory welded where you cut it if you ever want to put it back on. But the FSWerks exhaust is very simple to install I have not seen one post about pieces missing or anything like that. I would say go with the FSWerks.

The factory exhaust(s) are all one piece, fully-welded designs. At the factory, they install it BEFORE the subframes, so there is nothing in the way at that point in assembly.
The aftermarket exhausts are all 2- or 3-piece bolt-together designs, so they can be installed with the factory subframes still in place. I'm personally a Borla fanboy, but every part I've gotten from FS/FSWerks has been amazing quality. I'd have zero apprehension about trying their exhaust.
