Just put deposit down on 2020 C63S - First Mod- Midpipe/Straight Pipe?

Hi Amigos- after months and months of searching, finally put a deposit down on a 2020 C63S Sedan with 15K miles!

I've watched countless YouTube vids of different exhaust type setups...I'm finding it hard to distinguish which setup makes it sound the "meanest", which I understand is subjective.

Couple thoughts- seems as though a secondary cat delete is a must?

Other than that- Is straight pipe, midpipe, or XPipe the way to go for the majority?

I can't tell by the majority of the videos if some have just a straight pipe, XPipe, or Midpipe plus those combinations?

Excuse my rookie questions here, just excited. Lol. Thanks Gents.

If you wan the most sound, first you have to get downpipes, catless for the most sound, catted for a more muted sound, The car already has a factory H-pipe which is controlled by the active exhaust, to keep it always open get an EVM from Renntech or ASR. Just keep in minding ripping off the old-exhaust could throw codes due to the valves being removed.

Thanks brother. I have a 43, and I like the current exhausts on these, so I'll keep the exhaust itself.

I would probably go catted just to avoid the smell - but downpipe by itself, and cat delete is better than downpipe and XPipe? I see so many videos of different setups and it's hard to tell exactly what they are running. lol

So for reference, I would try to get a sound like this clip here:

Can straight pipe alone accomplish "something" along the lines of this? lol. I'm such a rook, so excuse me here. lol.
