2018 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Cutout Pipes/Active Exhaust

I have a 2018 Camaro SS Convertible and I want to put an active exhaust on it. I don't have the factory active exhaust option and I haven't seen any aftermarket active exhausts that don't require factory valves. I recently saw this https://quicktimeperformance.com/i-3...Csubmodel%3DSS cutout pipe on YouTube and got excited, but on the website it says "doesn't fit converbles". This has me wondering several things.
Why doesn't this fit the Convertible?
Are there any active exhaust options out there that don't use oem valves?

Note: I like the look of the factory bell exhaust tips which is why I don't want an exle back. Deleting the muffler seems like it'll be too loud at times for a daily.

The Vert has an underbody cross-brace and I've read many aftermarket exhausts won't fit, or at least the makers say their's won't. Sorry, can't help with your other Q's.

Chevrolet Performance makes an Axle back. Has little bowtie logos on the tips too.

I have it on mine - sounds really good. Cold start and idle has an additional depth and throatiness to it with a bit more lower tone to the sound. It has more bark when you get your foot into it but isn't generally obnoxious overall (unless you drive like an ass).

It's a Borla S-Type that's rebranded with the bowties on the tips (like you said) but otherwise the same. Borla is probably less expensive, though.
