Congratulations on the purchase!
There are 2 things:
1. You need to know if you are Euro Spec or US Spec for the cats. It's simple: you need to look under the car to know if your primary cats are in the headers or on the pipe after that. If you are US spec, with the first cats in the headers, then you can use Fabspeed bypasses. I have a set for sale btw. I could not use it because I am "Euro spec", with both sets of cats in that pipe after the headers. There will be no CEL because only the first cats are monitored and they replace the second set.
2. You need to check if you have the central muffler or not. GS delivered in USA did not have this muffler, they had a X-pipe instead. I removed the central muffler on mine with the X-pipe from Fabspeed (it fits all versions).
All the rest of my exhaust: intermediate pipes and rear valved mufflers is stock.
I think it's the perfect balance and compromise for sounds but it is a matter of taste. For some it will not be loud enough and for some it will be too loud.
