Go custom, or Corsa. Lots of people have had great results with the GMPP exhaust. I know, none of those options are in you're list. However Borla manufactures gmpp if I recall correctly.

PS: You're gonna get bitched for not using the search function :P

Either Magnaflow

Or a custom setup from CTI

Corsa is the best quality with a really good tone. Very classy but also very expensive.

Pacesetter is cheap crap. Megan Racing started as an Ebay knock off company.

Its true. No answer to your question until you figure what you want, but I can give you my opinion. That would be the magnaflow. I have it on my car and love it. Love how it sounds during idle, at high and low revs, and when it echos in an underpass. Thats my opinion.

I ordered a Megan Racing, but the CTI looks good for the price, and the pacesetter is sweet for the price too.

Any cat back that is one whole piece is a good cat back anything that is not a whole piece you could have leaking issues. Magnaflow cat back is a whole exhaust for example.

magnaflow comes in 2 pieces. the problem with the leaks is that most people don't tighten them enough. you have to tighten the bands to like 65-70 ft/lbs otherwise they'll leak. and that's very tight, tighter than you can go with a standard 1/2" drive unless you're really strong. when i put my new one on today, i started the car, and tightened with a big ass breaker bar till it wasn't leaking. and even with the breaker bar, it wasn't easy to tighten at the end.
