Drivetrain Aggressive exhaust
What do you want to know? Its pretty straightforward, you can either do a manual or electronic, or boost controlled. Easiest is obviously manual, which has 3 butterfly nuts and a block off plate that is on a Y pipe essentially. The Y pipe gets welded where you want in line with your current exhaust, likely after the DP or on the DP(though not much room here unless you're catless). Same goes for electronic, but instead of opening the nuts yourself you flip a switch, though these are known/can leak after a while, as the seals will get exhaust build up on them and cause gaps in the seal, or the motor gets weak and isn't able to apply enough torque to hold it closed.
I'm currently in the works of bringing my straight pipe back to the stock piping between the DP and the magnaflow muffler in the rear (the magnaflow box on stock piping will sound a bit sportier than stock, with 0 drone, plus i love how my 4" tips look), weld a cutout after the catless DP before the stock piping starts back up, and running a side exit exhaust for a catless dump.
Now all of you go and copy me and get it done before I do so you can claim being "the one"

If you like aggressiveness then you should try deleting the resonator.
With a 100cpi DP, a JCW kit back box and a 63,5mm straight in between it has all the aggressiveness anyone needs.
It is louder without the resonator and the pops&burble are in another league!
I will try to post some videos for you to listen.

No, nothing is monitored post DP.
The only concern should be "too" free flowing with no backpressure. It can lean out the car and cause issues, but running on lamda should keep most of those issues away. Regarldless, thats why I plan on running cutout to a resonator, since leaving the DP sounds pretty gross imo, the bad raspy.
