Seriously?
You're going to get opinions. None of the systems really give you any significant power gain.
Personally I like the Racing Beat cat back.

I like the HKS Legamax but DarkBrew is right, this is for the most part going to simply be opinions.

what he said! It's the lightest stainless steel exhaust for 8. If you want lighter you need to go titanium and spend some serious $$

19 of us did Dyno's. Most of us have the RB exhaust.

We had great sound and gains.

The HKS did not do well.

i have the greddy and I think the tips are a bit too big for the 8. What I don't like though is that I have to use exterior protectant on the plastic pieces surrounding the exhaust. The heat from the tip being so close always wears out those pieces. I'm thinking about switching to agency power eventually.

has anyone else wondered why this is in the bodykit forum?
