Upgrading my G550 Exhaust

Hi all, this is my first day on this forum so please bare with me.

I am interested in changing my exhaust system on my 2017 G550. I'd like to not see the exhaust tips and give it a bit of a more robust sound. I found this system by MBRP but I read somewhere that the sound is obnoxiously loud. Does anyone have experience with this system or can recommend me something else?

Do a mid-muffler delete. Sounds amazing! gets rid of the tips, and way cheaper option.

There's a used one available in the marketplace with videos comparing the stock exhaust with this one. IMO, it's not obnoxious and seems like a great way to get rid of the tips.

The MBRP exhaust is generally fine for the later twin turbo engines. They were originally designed for this. It ends up being obnoxiously loud on the M113k supercharged engines that do not have turbos to quiet down the exhaust volume. Search youtube or the forum for sound clips with your specific engine and/or find a local owner to give a listen.

By later twin turbo engines do you include mine? It is the very last model that came out with the W463 chassis in 2017.

Could someone explain me how the mid-muffler delete is different to the MBRP system? And/or are there other exhaust systems or brands you can recommend?

I plan on getting electronically controlled cut outs. You weld them in before the muffler and then you can open up the valve and bypass one or both mufflers for extra loud sound

I bought the MBRP for my G63, sounded like a damn farm truck and swapped it back out after a day
