im looking for a cat back. for sound i was hoping to get something that sounds deep but not too loud at lower rpm. im not really sure how much horsepower i can get but anything around 10 or so would be nice

no exhaust will give u 10+hp. That's just manufacturers' claims. If u want sound, how 'bout greddy? Deep n louuuuud. Then again, looks like ur leaning towards nismo.

Nismo is deep but it's a smooth loudness and once you let off the gas it's pretty dang quiet. I love it. I can't say much for Stillen since I don't have one. :P

I also have the Nismo. No complaints here. Sound is great. Couple it with a Racingline Y Pipe and the sound is fantastic. Little louder though.

Cat-back. Maybe I was unclear in my description. It is quiet compared to other aftermarket exhausts for our car (that why I said "stock sound"), but it is noticeably different in tone. I love it because My car is not a race car, I know this, but it gives it a much better sound.
