Unfortunately I don't know the answer, but at least I read the question...
Good catch. Then I read wrong.

To me, I don't feel that the BMWP Exhaust would qualify as one. The way I see it all you are doing is eliminating the resonator, which is a straight through anyways with the y-pipe they supply and the sort of same exhaust-minus the integrated flapper. Maybe the BMWP Exhaust is baffled differently, I honestly don't know. But when you compare it to other aftermarket exhausts out there, the BMWP looks more factory than the others.

But if you plan on running any "Agressive" map, why not look at upgrading everything on the exhaust section (Dp's/Mids/Exhaust) instead of just doing the muffler? That would make more sense.
