Default Audi S5 4.2 muffler delete, few questions about it.

Ok so i'm looking for better exhaust sound. Basically what i want is AWE track exhaust but i'm thinking of giving a try to muffler delete. (AWE track would cost me 2600$ without the downpipes because i live in EU...shipping and taxes really add up alot).

So i got a few questions about muffler delete, since english isn't my first language, my main question is, by muffler delete everyone means it as by removing the last 2 bits right at the end of the exhaust? Near the tips. Or is it the middle part? What i understand is that i basically have to cut it out and weld a straight pipe instead of it?

Also i would very much appreciate if anyone has a proper video of what a v8 sounds like with only muffler delete. Is this idea even worth considering? BTW my car has automatic transmission if it makes any difference.

TYVM to everyone who helps me with my consideration!

I think replacing the muffler with a straight pipe could result in a very loud exhaust.

I did this with my 944 Turbo recently. My 944 has a turbo and the catalytic converter to muffle the exhaust, and it was louder than I expected.
