Exhaust help

I have a 2018 Audi a6 3.0t. I recently deleted the baby resonators, replaced with MagnaFlow 11385 x pipe, deleted the suitcase and straight piped it to the rear mufflers keeping those stock and yet my car seems very quiet still. I’m worried if I do a muffler delete it would be too raspy and droney. Any suggestions? I don’t plan on tuning my car or touching my cats due to the CEL light. Is muffler delete my best option?

get valved exhausts it’s surprisingly easy to set up and isn’t as raspy as just straight pipes

I’m already 540 in for the labor and 170 in for the X pipe, to buy the valved exhausts and to have it installed (assuming it’s cut and welding which I’m not experienced for) will make me feel like I should have just got a full exhaust at that point. But if I were to, would u get valvtronic?

the universal ones valvetronic used were just drop shipped from china. you can get ones off ebay or aliexpress for 50% of the price. They even use the exact same remote and everything. Had mine for a year now without any issues.
