I have a 2.5" cat back. Sounds good IMHO. It's all about personal preference in the choice of systems.

I would pick based on these criteria, in this order:

1) Sound

2) Looks

3) Power production

If you looking for "Super dupa low-deep tone" you can try out HKS, cheap while branded, but take caution of vibration.I personnally favor Apexi's Catback, rich sporty sound (not like crazily loud)looks good too, but you will need some fitting.If you looking for power, Cattman would be a very expensive but great choice.

Just personnal opinion But look it up on youtube, see what kind of sound you looking for, compare them

the sound gets very annoying no matter how low it is. i ended up keeping the warpspeed ypipe, but had a local muffler shop redo the piping to 2.5" with no resonator and generic muffler. i can hear the stereo a whole lot better now .
