Would however still be curious to hear some sort of headers / hi-flow cats / delete pipe / OEM silencer combo though.

At least based on the two videos from Soul the more I watch them I think I am starting to lean more to just the delete pipes as well as being a good balance (nice tone and not too loud); well that and sticking the valves in the open position. The upside as well is it’s also financially efficient to just need the one piece.

Same here. I am leaning on getting the Soul OAP/OFP delete pipe now and then following up with a valved muffler system from JCR or Soul if I need more sound (which I'm pretty sure will happen). GB Spyder should be here in little over a month and am immediately wanting to ditch the OFPs while running valves open.

I'm leaning towards the Soul OAP as well, simple...and don't want to get into replacing entire exhaust chasing a sound.
So if I disconnect and plug the vacuum lines does that mean I'm always in Sport mode at every rpm? No need to push a button?

Correct. Unplugging will simply keep the flaps open 100% of the time over all rev ranges. That's the important detail "over all rev ranges" because I think the stock PSE system will close the valves at some lower rev ranges.....even when you have the button pressed with the intention of having them open. I did this with my previous car which had similar set up and disconnecting the valves definitely improved the sound at lower rev ranges even with the stock sport exhaust button pressed to be open.

Going to do the OAP and un-plug, simple and why not have Sport sound all the time?! My neighbors are used to it...

What are the ranges? Maybe not a huge problem, but maybe... I had a droning issue in my last vehicle and unfortunately it was int the RPM range where a person typically cruises on the hwy (i.e. 6th gear and 120kph). VERY annoying. I really hope this is not the "drone zone" on this car because it sounds (no pun intended) that the unplugging of the vac hoses is a no-brainer given a OAP swap.
