Dog, seek ViperBob and the shop he works at since they could make up what ever you want. The pics of what Nizer posted is what to use. Also see what FVD is selling because they use M&M exhaust and a lot of that is approved for the various Euro Cup Car series.
I have something like this on my GTS now.....comes out of the headers and it X's at the rear and into 2 small cup car like mullers to the tips. With the ECU tune you got from Eddie you might free up some power in the upper end.

Is that how the stock exhaust is on the GTS or did you change it?

Drums is obsessed with my tune. He seems to think it added 100hp
I think it's good for 10hp at best, and on a 400hp car it's pretty much negligible. I can't feel the difference anyway. However, it seemed like something fun to do at the time and I like doing business with the Filthy Brazillian and his partner

Changed it.....is was much like stock GT3 with 2 side mufflers and ceneter muffler. I went with a system from FVD (M&M Exhaust). It drones so I'll see if I can live with it on the street. It's nice at the track though...above 4500rpm it is actually quieter than below 4000rpm! LOL

The side muffler delete that Nick did was awful. The droning was so bad I contemplated taking a handful of pills and ending it all vs 5 more minutes in his car

That was quick. Luckily I used to buy and sell cocaine for a living so I can easily convert the kilos to pounds in my head
If the side mufflers weigh 18 kilos vs the center weighing 8 kilos, why don't more people keep the stock center muffler and just go with a side muffler delete product? There's more weight savings there and the side muffler delete products (ie fabspeed) are not expensive.
Does it just sound like crap or something?

It does but I have had cars that were way worse. I thought the car was fine until you really get on it. If it is your daily driver, you may not want to do it or wait until you can ride in someone's car to see for yourself. I can honestly tell you that I thought the car would be much louder when I got it done but I don't mind loud and don't drive the car much other than DE's.

Videos would be great as well. I've been very close to pulling the trigger on this system but there hasn't been enough information out there to date and Akrapovic's website is not much help. Look forward to real user experience.

I see you've joined the TSB club. Trying to create some unfair advantages?

You all think so one dimensionally... There are some alternatives that are cool and cheap (sort of). Think Inconel... More to come BTW, titanium is last years metal.
