A few things I’ve done AFe catless Downpipe, PRL frontpipe and P2R exhuast.

How hard was your install? How long did it take?

I have a PRL intercooler, and an are DP, FP, Intake and Intercooler tubes on the way. I am just going to wrap my DP. Not wrapping the front pipe.
Looks good

I wrapped my 3" front pipe to keep more heat in the exhaust, and used DEI's pipe shields in hopes of protecting the components that are close to the front pipe. (I can't change the downpipe while the emissions warranty is in force.)

That is all SS, right?

That is what the products for the exhaust, that I ordered, are made out of. I heard that wrapping titanium, can cause it to per-maturely crack, because of how thin it is made.
I think you have pretty strict rules up there, right? I live in an area that doesn't have e-checks. Plus, 75-80% of the time, mine will be on track.
Lets us know how it sounds, and if your butt dyno can tell the difference.

Yup, SS.

I think that we have the same emissions rules as most of North America, it is just that I drive a lot on local cottage country roads where there are often roadside inspections. (The inspections are primarily for boat trailer safety, but the emissions officers sometimes are there as well because people remove emissions stuff from light-duty diesel trucks.)

I'm really happy with the sound of the system - there is no drone when cruising on the highway, etc., but I'll find out in the Spring if a single resonator and a Helmholtz chamber is good enough to pass the noise checks at local venues.

As for butt dyno, mine is not very accurate - tbh, I'd never notice a few hp difference.

Did you take out your fog light, or is it just the shadow and angle?
