OEM midpipe delete / removal on G90 M5

G90 Owners will know that exhaust note is one of the weak points of the car.
Since the G90 has a new exhaust system, I was wondering if anyone has gutted the midpipe to make the exhaust louder.

Many people (including myself) has done this on F90 M5, but no info/data available on the G90's.

Any pics would be much appreciated and helpful to the community.

Thanks!

Solution just remove this bigresonator and straight pipe this portion

The second pic in blue is the second resonator in both cars usa and European version and I think if straight piping not enough this can be replaced with x pipe
Hope that helps
I came with all this after observing my car and other European cars
I also may go this route

My f90 I used a Dinan x pipe and afterwards the sound was pretty good, I plan on doing the same to the G90, secondary DP and x pipe.

It’s only a matter of time before parts start to be released - in the mean time this gives me time to get the comsmetic done. I am sure the g90 will have even more pops and bangs once they start releasing tunes.

I will start with removing the big resonator and straight pipe this pat and this should sound like stock f90
