I had a local German tuner shop Fifteen52 fab me up a custom 3" stainless mandrel bent turbo back with all v-bands and twin Magnaflows. It starts with the ATP V-band adapter and works it way tightly down past the alternator and PTO into a Flex section followed closely by a V-band. Then a relatively strait shot with a slight kink for the rear diff in to a perfectly executed Y with a V-band on each outlet. Twin polished oval Magnaflows with a slight up turn to follow the line of the rear bumper to finish it all off. From behind this set-up is strait up tits. Here are a few pics Shawn the owner and fabricator posted on a local tuner forum. I had a buddy there take some "build" shots so I'll get those up and some good day shot from behind when I get them.

Exhaust system looks awesome. Fifteen52 does some excellent work.

To mirror djmarkian, how many shekels did that set you back, if you don't mind my asking?

Cost was at about a full turbo back would cost if you put a pre-made set-up on. I'm sure If you contact Shawn personally he can talk price to replicate what he did for me.

Sound is pretty spot on with most other off the shelf systems as far as I can tell. I've yet to really hear it out side the car. With no resonator its pretty raw and has a mild "drone" from 3-4k under load. At freeway speeds is very subtle and very livable.

I'll do my best to get some sound clips this weekend.

They came new on the stock wheels when I bought the car. They are Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S-C's. I figured why waste $400 in tires so I just swapped them over to the 5Zigens and have been rolling them. They work ok considering I don't really have traction issues in a strait line.
