looking for exhaust advice

Hi everyone. I'm a newby here and a happy new owner of a SLS AMG - great car I want to get a new full exhaust system to put on it so I'm scouring the internet for advice. I've tested the car on a race track (compared it with a Ferrari 458) and I think a new exhaust could improve the overall performance. Of course I'm looking for something that sounds pretty good too.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions

Where are you located and exhaust alone may make it louder but it won't do much for the performance without other mods. What do you want? More power? ECU, Supercharger, turbo's. Better handling? KW's.

40 HP is not good enough for performance?

...does anyone have videos of drive-by's with a performance exhaust on?
I've found this: Full Supersprint exhaust with headers and sports metallic cats, x-pipe and rear exhausts with oem tailpipes

These are the results of the dyno test stock vs. supersprint



It shows a significant increase of hp (+ 50 hp in mid-range power), that's noticeable.

Id like to add and say the increase came without an ECU modification and without the necessary required fuel ignition
