Hi all. I am searching the internet and also brainstorm the process of the exhaust system for my car, a G20 2021 330i 258hp.

So far I was ready to go for a straight pipe to get the most out of the sound, but in Romania specifically it is very risky. Almost every after market exhaust is risky because so few have a certification but a straight pipe is really turning heads.

So i was thinking about going first for an axle-back exhaust, keeping the stock downpipe + opf + resonator, then maybe upgrading the mid pipe and afterwards upgrading the downpipe, but leaving the opf and resonator at least on the car.
Now it is very hard to find exhausts on the EU market and with delivery in Romania, mostly are in USA and most of them do not ship to EU and if they do the prices are really high. Do you have any recommendation for an axle-back or even a cat-back exhaust to buy? I am even open to hear pro and cons of resonator delete and muffler delete if they are worth it or not.

The point is that I want to get a nice sound, have an exhaust with valves so it is still comfy in confort or eco but kind of loud or turning heads on sport or sport+.
