The exhaust system that you need is a catback, which is everything back from the catalytic converter, i.e. cat, midpipe, mufler, and tip. Read below for more about exhaust. Sound is going to be personal preference, check online for sound clips of different exhaust.

EDIT: Just as a note, what a catback system includes varies from company to company. Racing Beat for example doesn't include the catalytic converter in the catback system, whereas Agency Power and TurboXS include the cat in the catback system.

If your catalytic converter is failing all you need is to replace the CAT . Your options include mid pipes without CAT, mid pipes with CAT, or just a CAT that can be attached to the stock mid pipe. There are options out that include a place for the O2 sensor.
There is a lot of good info around mid pipes and CATs in this forum. You can search for this info through GOOGLE. For example, you can type "mid pipe rx8club" and you will get a bunch of stuff.

if you have to pass emissions inspection, you should get something with a catalytic converter or just replace the cat itself.
If you want a little more volume, just buy something like the RP SuperCat from Rotary Performance and use it with the stock exhaust.
