Yes that's correct, from realoem, the muffler part number for n55 is different and all the photos of N55 exhausts have that Y pipe as a solid piece. You can use a $5 ebay endoscope camera to verify too.

In your case, welding the 3 large holes and leaving the other perforated pipe alone would be a winner. Imo, the valve is a great feature of the PE mod and definitely makes the exhaust a lot more civilised in comparison to the PE, which is quite loud.
