Exhaust with little drone for Manic tune

I'm looking into various exhaust systems that will let me build into a manic tune. I really want to preserve the pops and burble (or make them louder if possible) that I get in sport mode. I basically want a loud exhaust that has low drone (so from what I understand, a well made resonator). I really like the sound in
but I'm not sure what an FJCW exhaust is or where to buy one.

Another question I have is about the downpipe. What's the difference between catted and no cat? Will it affect something like if I choose to get flames for the manic tune, or is it more of a noise suppression sort of thing?

Maybe just get a 2.5" Magnaflow muffler and delete your cats and resonator. You need a completely catless system to run Manic flames, if not you will destroy your cats and clog the system.

That makes sense. I'm not too much a fan of the sound the Magnaflow makes... I like the sound of the fJCW the most, and as long as it doesn't sound like a jet engine on the highway I'd be ok with it, so long as it works with the Manic tune.

I am still a little confused on what the fJCW exhaust is, though. Is it just the factory JCW exhaust? I've heard the one to get is the one without the engraved exhaust tips (louder), but I'm not sure where to find such a thing.

The link is to the FJCW (not engraved, just the backbox). I bought mine from ESC a little over a year ago and I absolutely love it. No experience with a tune (yet)

Awesome guys, thanks for the help! Looks like I'll be getting that this summer and taking it to a shop to cut off my 2nd cat and resonator along with the install.

Is there a diagram somewhere of the stock R56 exhaust? I'm not sure how to find the resonator / second cat. Is the first cat the one in the downpipe, and the second cat/resonator the cylinders underneath the car, or is there more to the exhaust than that?

First Cat is part of the down pipe. Then from front to rear- Second Cat-Resonator-muffler
