The exhaust system functions well if a little uninspiring, freeing up the exhaust will allow the engine to perform better as it can expel the burnt gasses quicker, a good design would ensure the gas pulses help draw the following wave of exhaust gasses out too meaning the car should be able to back on boost promptly after each time the throttle had been shut (like when changing gear), a sports cat (around 200+cells) would allow emissions to be within legal limits.
