I was wondering what the differences were between these different levels of mods of the original exhaust. I can't find any definitive answers on any forum.

Looking at this picture.
There are 4 areas with vented pipes and 2 Helmholtz resonators.

What is the 2 vs 4 pipe mod?
What makes the x.5 version?

Thanks
2 pipe - replace two largest vented / perforated pipes with solid pipes. (some wrap them instead of replacing)

4 pipe - replace all perforated pipes with solid pipes

"ACM" - bypass the inner muffler chambers and Straight pipe from back to tips. (essentially muffler delete, but with OEM muffler weight)

I had the 2 pipe mod, with cat delete, it was good. but probably similar to the MPE somewhat in tone. I swapped to a Corsa with TPs. perfection.
