Thats all up to personal preference. I personally have the Greddy SP2. Priced lower then the others. They all sound similar, borla being the deepest, Greddy being the loudest. Depending with what tips you like best, Greddy has the largest, and in my opinion, look best.

If you want small sound clips of various exhausts go to www.mazdatrix.com, under exhausts. I have the Racing Beat unit & love it.

the racing beat catback is the best in quality for what you pay for and best in performance as well.
they also have an intake that is also the best researched and tested and performs well and is not too noisy for intakes,. get the racing beat intake and exhaust and you can add 11hp to your car......total with those two mods, getting your car to the magic 250hp give or take a few fishes

RB makes an awesome catback but there is a better quality (higher grade stainless steel used) exhaust for a similar price in the Hymee exhaust.
The RB tips turn 'golden' which is very common to stainless steel and can be cleaned off but as soon as it heats up it will 'gold' again.
Higher quality stainless steel is resistant to to this and other corrosion.
You can't go wrong with either exhaust really. Just take this into consideration.

They hymee sounds really good, heard it for the first time at the Revo last weekend. I have the GReddy SP2 and it is loud with hf cat an no resonator, I would like to hear the hymee with the same setup but it sounds great with the stock cat and resonator.
