If your looking to make the same note as the car in your link then you will probably need more then just an exhaust to do it. A big reason that car sounds the way it does is from the tune they have installed. You can defiantly make it loud and throaty, but with a factory tune it most likely won't pop like that.

The exhaust we had on the ABF JCW was a magnaflow with a catless DP. These aren't the best vids but you can kinda get an idea of how it sounded.

I'm pretty sure non of the Cobb shops have bench tuned any 2011 customer cars yet and unless it becomes the only option I doubt they will. It just sways to far from the tunign philosophy the company has come to adopt.

Not sure if this is possible with US spec DP's but it may be interesting to read none the less.

Lol I got to 1k my first 2 months I was averaging 70 posts a day. This site was the only thing that kept me from trying to freeze myself till my car was delivered. And yeah I'll see you up there.

And I was thinking about lowering but I hit some Chantilly speed bumps already. But I've been talking to my vdub co-workers and theyve been telling me to get some adjustables

Like just run a pipe from the turbo all the way out the back. No muffler, resonators, or catalytic converters. That would be loud as hell! Sure go buy about $50 worth of piping and do it.
